Methodology: it is an observational, descriptive and retrospective study. Were reviewed 583 medical records of patients phlebotomized, between 2010 until 2017. The statistical analysis included measures of central tendency and dispersion, besides OR and chi square for correlation evaluation.

Results: it was observed 42.36% overweight, 27.62% obesity, and presence of diseases as hypothyroidism, liver and kidney disorders, SAHOS and metabolic syndrome. in addition to classic hematological alterations, with a significant correlation between hematological and endocrine or metabolic disorders (Chi square 18.84).
