The Impact of Multiple Sclerosis Disease Status and Subtype on Hematological Profile.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an immune-mediated, demyelinating disease of the central nervous system. In this study, an MS cohort and healthy controls were stratified into Caucasian and African American groups. Patient hematological profiles-composed of complete blood count (CBC) and complete metabolic panel (CMP) test values-were analyzed to identify differences between MS cases and controls and between patients with different MS subtypes.
