Negative Correlation between Erythrocyte Count and Mean Corpuscular Volume or Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin in Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Subjects

G. M. M. Rao, Lutfia Omar Morghom, Senossi Salah Mansori

Abstract

Negative correlation was observed between erythrocyte count (RBC) and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) or mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) in both sexes of diabetic and non-diabetic Libyans. The slopes of regression lines for MCV-RBC and MCH-RBC of diabetic patients were significantly lower (P less than 0.001) than those of their non-diabetic counterparts. Positive correlation was found between MCH and MCV. The slope of the regression line for MCH-MCV of diabetic patients was not significantly different from that of non-diabetic subjects.
