Abstract
Background: Methamphetamine is strong addictive drug that has serious physiological and psychological effects on human; we performed this study to assess the coagulation profile among Methamphetamine Sudanese adult abusers in Khartoum state.
Method: An analytical case control study aimed on testing coagulation parameters on methamphetamine abuser as a case group and nonusers as a control group, the recorded results were analyzed using SPSS program.
Results: A 50 samples of case group and 50 samples of control group were tested against each other for coagulation tests. The analyzed results revealed that males were abusing methamphetamine were much more than females. The analysis also shows that the addicts who have been abusing meth for a long time have a higher PT, APTT and INR than the patients who using it recently. The platelets of methamphetamine abusers were a bit lower than the people with no history of abusing.
Conclusion: The findings suggest that the study populations are at higher risk of coagulopathies. Planning of drug awareness programs and developing of the rehabs centers would help to reduce the effect of Methamphetamine drug.
