Changes of red blood cell parameters in pregnancy women with β-mediterranean anemia / 国际检验医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the changes of erythrocyte parameters and the value of differential diagnosis in pregnant women with β-mediterranean anemia.Methods A total of 300 pregnancy women from July 2014 to December 2015 in Center Hospital of Longgang were recruited in this study,100 pregnant women with β-mediterranean anemia in β-mediterranean anemia pregnancy group,100 healthy pregnant women in normal pregnancy group,100 pregnant women with iron deficiency anemia in iron deficiency anemia pregnancy group.Mean red cell volume(MCV),mean erythrocyte hemoglobin(MCH),reticulocyte percentage(Ret%) were detected and compared in the three groups.Results Compared with the normal pregnancy group and iron deficiency anemia pregnancy group,the MCV,MCH significantly reduced,and Ret% significantly rised in the β-mediterranean anemia pregnant group,the differences were significant(P<0.05).The best cut-off value of Ret% was 1.7% in differential diagnosis of β-mediterranean anemia pregnancy and iron deficiency anemia pregnancy,the sensitivity was 63.00%,the specificity was 74.00%,the area under of receiver operating characteristic curve was 0.841.The sensitivity of joint detection including MCV,MCH and Ret% in differential diagnosis of β-mediterranean anemia pregnancy and iron deficiency anemia pregnancy was 84.00%,the specificity was 90.00%.Conclusion MCV,MCH and Ret% in pregnancy women with β-mediterranean anemia changes significant compared with normal pregnancy group and iron deficiency anemia pregnancy group,the joint detection including MCV,MCH and Ret% could significantly improve the differential diagnosis of β-mediterranean anemia and iron deficiency anemia in pregnancy women.
