Abstract

Hemoglobin is the protein molecule in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and returns carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs. Hemoglobin is made up of four protein molecules (globulin chains) that are connected together. The erythrocyte sedimentation rate is the rate at which red blood cells sediment in a period of one hour. It is a common hematology test. It is a commonly measured indicator of disease, but is subject to several non-disease influences As per Unani literature, Mizaj is characterized by physiological, physical and psychological parameters. Keeping in mind the physiological parameters, this study was designed to find out the relation of total erythrocytes and total leucocytes with Mizaj-e-Damwi. For this study, 88 volunteers were randomly selected from Ajmal Khan Tibbiya College and other colleges of Aligarh and Hemoglobin concentration was estimated by using Sahli’s Hemoglobinometer and ESR were estimated by using Westergren’s Tube.

Keywords: Hemoglobin, ESR, Mizaj, Mizaj Damwi, Sahli’s Hemoglobinometer, Westergren’s Tube.
