Period: 01-03-2013 to 31-08- 2013. Setting: Liaquat University Hospital, Hyderabad. Methods: The cirrhotic patients were assessed for thrombocytopenia and its severity. The data was analyzed in SPSS version 11.00 and frequency and percentage was computed. The chi-square test was applied and p -value ≤0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Results: Total one hundred patients were evaluated for thrombocytopenia, 70% males and 30% females. The mean ± SD for age in cirrhotic subjects was 41.16±14.24 whereas the mean ±SD for age in male and female cirrhotic patients was 42.81±10.96 and 40.63±9.85. The thrombocytopenia was detected in 68%, of which 43(63.2%) were males and 25(36.8%) were females. Mean±SD for platelet in all subjects was 130.85±8.33 whereas it was 68.82±6.52 in thrombocytopenic cirrhotic patients. Mean±SD platelet count in male and female thrombocytopenic patients was 70.94±7.42 and 64.72±5.84. Out of sixty eight thrombocytopenic cirrhotic subjects 23 had mild thrombocytopenia, 25 had moderate thrombocytopenia and 20 had severe thrombocytopenia while in relation to Child-Pugh class B (p |
