dc.description.abstract	The effects of aqueous leaf extract of Cassia siamea on haematological parameters in albino rats were investigated. Twenty (20) rats weighing between 100 and 200g were divided into four groups (A, B, C and D) of five rats each. Groups B, C and D were administered the extract orally at a daily dose ofO.5g1kg, 1.0g/kg and l.Sg/kg body weight respec- tively for twenty-eight (28) days, while group A (control) received saline. Blood parameters were determined prior to extract administration and at every 7 days for 28 days. Haematological analysis of blood indicated significant decrease (P<O.OS) in red blood cells and hemoglobin concentration at aU treatment doses while, white blood ceJls and platelets count showed significant increase (P<O.OS). These alterations of blood parameter noticed are of clinical consequence.	en_US
