This difference is statistically significant (p<0.001). A linear regression revealed thatif haemoglobin level decrease the platelet count increase significantly (p<0.001). This result is found from a patientsgroup whose mean(±SD) age is 45.74(±18.21) years and females (57.2%) are predominant than male (42.8%).Conclusion: There is a significant inverse relation between haemoglobin and platelet count which need attention forfurther study for proper management of the patients.
