Abstract :Gastrointestinal system insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(GI); bleeding is emergency intervention required situation and important problem due to mortality, morbidity and hospitalization costsinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1);. Despite the progress in diagnosis and treatment,upper GI bleeding has 2-10% mortality rate, thus since 1960, desired improvement could not be achieved insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(1, 2);. Therefore, evaluation, diagnosis and treatment approaches of patients with upper GI-bleeding have a special importance. The severity ranges covers between; subclinical hidden bleeding to occult bleeding, from chronic anemia to acute hypovolemic shockinsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(3);White blood cells, also known as leukocytes insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(WBC);, are immune system fighters and migrate to the side of all kinds of infections and inflammation.They are the main cells that cause inflammation. Leukocyte count insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(WBC);: 4,500 to 10000 cells / mcL. Average Platelet volume insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(MPV); is the laboratory finding which shows platelet activation. It is one of the simple subclinical inflammation marker. A red cell distribution width insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(RDW);reflecting the variability in the size of circulating erythrocytes and is often used as indicator for the diagnosis of anemiainsert ignore into journalissuearticles values(4);. However, systemic inflammations, chronic nutritional disorders, ineffective erythropoiesis diagnosis and in bone marrow dysfunction RDW values may also increase. insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(5); In our study, retrospectively, between January 2020-March 2020, patients with Gastrointestinal system insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(GI); bleeding as the primary diagnosis,the age range between 18-75 years old and whose blood hemograms were studied were included.WBC, RDW and MPV values are proportioned.
