Abstract
Hypertension is a major health issue that affects people all over the world. It can cause cardiovascular disease as well as functional issues, such as changes in haematological parameters. This study aimed to assess some haematological parameters of hypertensive individuals at Federal Medical Centre, Owo, Ondo State, Nigeria. All participants after taking informed consent were interviewed for a detailed history and 5 ml of blood was collected for haematological test analysis using ADVIA® 2120i Haematology system (SIEMENS). “Data were presented in tables and shown as mean ± standard deviation and added using statistical packages for social sciences” (SPSS, Version 20.0) with the level of significance set at p≤ 0.05. One hundred (100) hypertensive individuals based on gender were enrolled in this study. There was also observed a statistically significant difference in lymphocyte and WBC count of the study participants based on sex.
