[Change in hemograms as a predictor for developing hematologic diseases in liquidators of the accident at Chernobyl Atomic Energy Station, also having hemocirculatory disorders].
A comparative analysis was performed of hemogrammes in 134 liquidators of the Chernobyl accident with hemocirculatory disorders, in 69 non-irradiated patients presenting with like processes, in 18 patients with chronic lymphoid leukosis, and in 32 healthy subjects to determine the degree of risk for development of hematologic diseases. The risk was at its highest for thrombocytopenia and neutropenia which are laboratory signs of chronic lymphoid leukosis. The incidence of thrombocytopenia in the irradiated subjects is 4.48 times as much as in the non-irradiated individuals with the same diagnosis and 8.33 times as much as in normal subjects. The frequency of neutropenia in the irradiated persons is 3 to 7 times as much as in the non-irradiated presenting with like pathology, which fact suggests to us a pathogenetic role that the radiation factor plays role in the development of the above disorders.
