ABSTRACT
Age –Related Haematological Variations in relation to Serum Erythropoietin Levels of Individuals in Elele, Rivers State was carried out amongst children, adolescents and geriatrics at Madonna University Teaching Hospital Elele, Rivers State. A total of 116 Subjects were recruited for the study. It comprised 20 males and 16 females for children, 20 males and 20 females for adolescent’s group, 20 males and 20 females for geriatrics. Erythropoietin level was determined using Enzyme Linked Immuno- Sorbent Assay (ELISA), packed cell volume, haemoglobin level; total white blood cell count, differential white blood cell count, platelet count and red blood cell count were determined using standard method. Results from children showed statistical increase in neutrophil and lymphocytes in male children while serum Erythropoietin and other haematological parameters were statistically insignificant (P>0.05).Children showed significant correlation of serum erythropoietin which was negative for packed cell volume and haemoglobin in children. On the adolescents category, serum erythropoietin increased statistically on the females while packed cell volume, haemoglobin level, total white blood cell counts showed statistical increase in males (P
