Analysis on the Abnormal Detection Rate of Blood Tests in 1790 Medical Radiation Workers in Nanjing

Abstract

<i>Objective</i> To investigate the characteristics of abnormal detection rate of the Blood routine and the Serum biochemistry in medical radiation workers. <i>Methods</i> A total of 1790 medical radiologists and occupational workers taking part in a medical check-up without radiation exposure history nor toxic exposure history, were selected as the radiation group and the control group respectively. The abnormal detection rates of blood routine and serum biochemical indexes of the two groups were compared and analyzed. <i>Results</i> The top three abnormal detection rates of blood routine indexes were MONO% [177 (9.9)], NEUT% [108 (6.0)], and WBC [85 (4.7)]. The top three abnormal detection rates of serum biochemical indexes were UA [395 (22.1)], FBG [208 (11.6)], and ALT [195 (10.9)]. The percentage of monocyte, neutrophil, leukocyte, and platelet abnormalities in the female group was higher than that in the male group. The abnormal detection rates of uric acid, fasting blood glucose, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase, alanine aminotransferase, total bilirubin, globulin, creatinine, and albumin in the male group were higher than those in the female group. The detection rate of abnormal fasting blood glucose showed an increasing trend correlated with the increase in occupational working duration. Alanine aminotransferase, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase, and creatinine increased in the early stage and then fell. The Total protein (TP) was relatively higher in the group of radiologists with more than 21 years of exposure. <i>Conclusion</i> Most of the blood routine and serum biochemical indexes of radiation workers are affected by radiation, while the blood routine indexes in the female group are affected by radiation more than that in the male group, and the serum biochemical indexes in the male group are affected by radiation more than that in the female group.
