Abstract

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic disease with a wide range of clinical manifestations. SLE clinical manifestations include hematological symptoms such as anemia (low hemoglobin levels) and leukopenia. Anemia in SLE occurs by suppressed erythropoiesis caused by chronic inflammation, whereas leukopenia is caused by systemic infection. To evaluate hematological abnormalities in SLE, additional tests, such as complete blood count and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), are required. ESR values can be affected by hemoglobin levels and leukocyte counts. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between hemoglobin levels and leukocyte counts against ESR values. This study is an analytical observational, cross-sectional design with retrospective data collection. The research uses secondary data from medical records data measurement of hemoglobin levels, leukocyte counts, and ESR values in 20 SLE patients at RSU Hermina Purwokerto. The result of this research showed the average hemoglobin level in 20 SLE patients was 9.3 gr/dL, the average leukocyte count was 8.5×103 cells/µL, and the average ESR value was 43 mm/hour. The Pearson correlation test showed that the variable Hb value and ESR value were significant (p>0.05), whereas the variable number of leukocytes and LED value were not significant (p>0.05). The final conclusion there is a relationship between hemoglobin levels and ESR values, but not between leukocyte counts and ESR values.
