Abstract

Background: Smoking is a major concern for public health, and its impact on it is noticeable, causing many diseases and contributing to premature deaths. While the harmful effects of smoking on the respiratory system are widely recognized, less attention has been paid to its effect on blood and liver parameters.. Objective: This study was aimed study is to evaluate the effect of cigarettes smoking on complete blood count (CBC) and liver function enzymes in smokers among populations in Western Libya. Methodology: this study was conducted on 148 Libyan people in the cities of Al-Zahraa and Janzour.

The group included 88 smokers aged between 20 and 70 years, with varying duration of smoking from less than 10 years to more than 10 years. It also included 60 non-smokers who were gathered in the same age range for statistical comparison. Results: The study revealed increases in blood parameters including hemoglobin (17 g/dL), cell volume (97.0%fl), red blood cells (6.7 * 10⁶ μ L), and white blood cells (18.0 * 10³ μ L). liters) and platelets (468 * 10³ μ L).

Similar effects were also observed in liver enzymes: AST (70U/L) and ALT (65.7U/L).these effect increase especially with increase duration of smoking Conclusion Changes in the activity of liver function enzymes were indicative of the impact of cigarette smoking on liver function, and the degree of change was correlated with the duration of smoking. Changes may be associated with an increased risk of secondary polycythemia, atherosclerosis, and cardiovascular disease.
