Abstract (2. Language): 
Objectives: In this study, we aimed to determine the relationship between macrocytosis and Alcoholic Liver Cirrhosis (ALC) and its accuracy, sensitivity and specificity rates. Material and Methods: Mean corpuscular volume (MCV) levels of 46 patients diagnosed as having ALC (Group 1) and 51 patients diagnosed as having Hepatitis B cirrhosis and Hepatitis C cirrhosis (Group 2) were compared retrospectively. Results: MCV level determined as 94.6±10.87 in patients in Group 1 was statistically significantly higher than in patients in Group 2 (p<0.001). Macrocytosis was determined in 26 patients (56.52%) in Group 1 but in 3 patients (5.88%) in Group 2. When the cut-off value for MCV in the diagnosis of ALC was taken as 102 fl, its accuracy, sensitivity and specificity rates for the diagnosis were determined as 78%, 93% and 72% respectively. MCV levels of Child class C ALC patients (n=27) were determined statistically significantly higher than MCV levels of Child class A and Child class B ALC patients. Conclusion: We concluded that MCV level is an important variable for the diagnosis of ALC but it is insufficient alone for the diagnosis; macrocytosis frequency increases in these patients and MCV levels increase as the prognosis worsens even without existence of anemia. ©2008, Firat University, Medical Faculty

Abstract (Original Language): 
Amaç: Alkolik karaciğer sirozunda(AKS) makrositoz sıklığı ve makrositoz ile prognoz arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenerek doğruluk, duyarlılık ve özgüllük değerlerinin tespiti amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: AKS tanısı olan toplam 46 hasta(grup 1)ile Hepatit B ve C virüslerine bağlı karaciğer sirozu (KS)tanısı olan 51 hastanın(grup 2) ortalama eritrosit hacmi(OEH) düzeyleri retrospektif olarak karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Grup 1'de OEH değeri 94.6±10.87 olup, grup 2 hastalardan anlamlı olarak yüksek saptandı(p<0.001).Grup 1'de toplam 26 (%56.52)hastada makrositoz tespit edilirken, grup 2 hastalarda bu oran 3(%5.88)idi. AKS tanısında OEH için cut-off değeri 102 fl olarak alındığında, tanı için doğruluk %78, duyarlılık %93 ve özgüllük %72 olarak saptandı. Child C grubu AKS tanılı hastaların(n=27) OEH'nin Child A ve B AKS tanılı hastalara oranla anlamlı olarak yüksek olduğu tespit edildi. Sonuç: AKS tanısında OEH'nin oldukça önemli olduğu fakat tek başına tanıdaki doğruluğunun yetersiz olduğu, anemi olmaksızın da bu hastalarda makrositoz sıklığının arttığı ve prognoz kötüleştikçe OEH değerinin de arttığı kanısına varıldı ©2008, Fırat Üniversitesi, Tıp Fakültesi
