PG - 1817-1828 LID - 10.1007/s00210-023-02731-y [doi] AB - Antihypertensive medications have been associated with a reduction in hemoglobin (Hb) levels, leading to clinically significant anemia. We aimed to provide valuable insights into the impact of angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) and calcium channel blockers (CCBs) on hematological parameters by measuring the levels of erythropoietin (EPO), ferritin, and complete blood count (CBC) in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), particularly considering the duration of the antihypertensives use. In addition to comparing their effects on blood pressure, glycemic status, and renal function, a retrospective cohort study was conducted at the consultation unit of Alsalam Teaching Hospital, Mosul, Nineveh Province, between October 2022 and February 2023. A total of 160 participants were enrolled after being fully examined by the consultants to detect their eligibility for inclusion in the study and to rule out any abnormality. They consisted of 40 healthy controls, 30 T2DM patients (T2DM group), 30 T2DM patients with newly diagnosed hypertension (HT) (T2DM+HT group), 30 type 2 diabetic-hypertensives on ARBs (T2DM+HT+ARBs group), and 30 type 2 diabetic-hypertensives on CCBs (T2DM+HT+CCBs group). Five milliliters of blood was drawn from a vein and divided into two parts. Two milliliters was transferred into an anticoagulant tube for the measurement of HbA1c and complete blood picture. Serum was obtained from the remaining blood and used for assessment of ferritin, EPO, FSG, creatinine, urea, and uric acid. Significantly reduced FSG and HbA1c levels were observed in T2DM+HT+CCBs and T2DM+HT+ARBs groups vs T2DM+HT group (p < 0.05). The T2DM+HT+CCBs group had statistically higher urea levels than the T2DM group (p < 0.05). Both CCBs and ARBs use resulted in reduced creatinine clearance (CrCl). T2DM+HT+CCBs group exhibited slightly higher uric acid levels compared to controls (p < 0.05). Prolonged use of CCBs and ARBs led to disturbances in hematological parameters, with CCBs users showing the lowest levels of hemoglobin (Hb), RBCs, and hematocrit (Hct) among the groups. ARBs users displayed the lowest values of EPO and ferritin compared to other patient groups, along with reduced levels of Hb, RBCs, and Hct, albeit slightly higher than CCBs users. Our study highlights the importance of a balanced approach in prescribing ARBs and CCBs to patients with T2DM, given their potential to induce blood abnormalities, particularly with prolonged usage.
