Effect of Ho-YAG Laser Therapy on Complete Blood Count for Lithotripsy( In Vitro )

Abstract

Background :The purpose of this study is to investigate the in vitro effect of  Ho – YAG  laser on Complete Blood Picture  in blood sample from ureteroscopic lithotripsy ( patients with urinary stones ) . The study is conduct  the effect Ho-YAG laser on Complete Blood Count (CBC)  was estimated before  and after exposure in vitro .Objective : To show the effect of (Ho-YAG ) laser on Complete Blood Picture . Subject & Methods : The study was conducted on Complete Blood Picture , the taken number of parameters (10) was estimated before and after exposure .Results : Result showed that there was a significant decreased in the percentage of Lymphocyte , PLT , HCT , RBC , HBG , MCHC , after exposure to 2100 nm (Ho-YAG ) laser . It is found that (Ho-YAG ) laser increase some parameters of  WBCs , MCV , MONO  and  MCH and after exposure .Conclusion : Irradiation of  blood by Ho-YAG laser  lead to a decrease in the number of some parameters , including Lymphocyte cells , PLT , HCT , RBC , HBG  and MCHC decreasing But the rest parameters of  WBCs , MCV , MONO  and MCH are increased by irradiation .
