Evaluation of Physical Examination Findings in Acute Abdominal Patients Who Apply to Emergency Service

The aim of the present study is to measure the concentration of fucose and TP in sera and erythrocytes for minor and major thalassemic patients according to blood groups and compared those to healthy individuals. Total fucose, total protein and TF/TP ratio were determined in sera and RBCs according to their blood type groups for 40 control, (40 T minor) and (45 T major). No significant differences were found in TP in sera and RBCs of T minor, T major and controls considering each blood type group. A significant increase in TF level in sera of T major compared to TF for T minor and TF for control, also a significant increase in TF for T major compared to T minor. The RBCs of T major contain the highest level of TF followed by TF in RBCs for T minor compared to that in RBCs for control. Yet no significant difference in blood types groups for T minor patients was found. On the other hand high levels of TF in RBCs of type O blood group in T major was noticed compared to TF in RBCs of group A, B and AB. A significant increase in TF/TP in the sera of T major compared to the ratio in T minor and controls was noticed. The ratio of TF/TP in T major was significantly higher than that for T minor and controls.
