Effect of the Exposure to Radioactive Iodine I-131 on Lymphocyte and Granulocyte Levels in Blood Samples of Hospital workers

Abstract

This study was achieved to examine the impact on hematological parameters for medical workers that work on radioactive iodine I-131. Its indicated that’s the mean value of radiation exposed (RE) workers were 29.2% of lymphocyte and 64.4% granulocyte% in compared with 30.2% and 60.6% respectively of radiation unexposed persons. Results showed that 17% of granulocyte increased, while 8.5% of the granulocyte level was declined in compared to fluctuated decrease and increase in the lymphocyte level in hospital workers. Results showed that there females are higher influenced than male. Finally, the study indicated that Complete blood count is promising, safe and economical routine test for hospital workers as Examination program.
