Investigation and analysis on reference value range of peripheral blood routine in preschool children from Shanghai / 国际检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate and understand the reference value range of hematological parameters for peripheral blood routine in preschool children from Shanghai.Methods The Sysmex XS-800i automated hematology analyzer and the original rea-gents were used to measure the hematological parameters in peripheral blood samples collected from 7 692 healthy preschool chil-dren aged 2-6 years in Shanghai,including white blood cells(WBC),red blood cells(RBC),platelet(PLT)count,hemoglobin(Hb), hematocrit(HCT),mean corpuscular volume(MCV),mean corpuscular hemoglobin(MCH)and mean corpuscular hemoglobin con-centration(MCHC);the various parameters in different age groups were collected and statistically processed to establish the refer-ence intervals for each parameter.Results In the blood routine among preschool children in Shanghai,there were statistically signif-icant differences in all parameters except WBC and PLT count between sexes among preschool children in Shanghai(P <0.05).The reference intervals of hematological parameters obtained in this investigation were obviously differed from those offered by the man-ufacturer.However,compared with those from the related reports,the difference existed in partial parameters,the upper limit of WBC count was highest compared with the results from some areas,while the reference value ranges of MCV,MCH and MCHC were higher than those of other area study results.Conclusion The independent blood routine medical reference value range for preschool children in Shanghai should be established and the influence of the factors of gender,instrument and reagents also should be taken into consideration in establishing the reference value range.
