[Additional potentialities of using blood cell characteristics for diagnosis of nonspecific ulcerative colitis]

The potentialities of increasing the resolving capacity of standard hematological parameters used for the diagnosis of chronic nonspecific ulcerative colitis were investigated. The mean volume of erythrocytes decreases and the shape of population erythrogram is modified in this disease. White blood is characterized by qualitative changes (mean cell volume and parameters of its distribution for neutrophils lymphocytes, and monocytes). Consideration for the corpuscular volume of these cells helps differentiate between slight, medium, and severe chronic nonspecific ulcerative colitis.
