ABSTRACT
Objectives:
To estimate the reference intervals for commonly used blood haematology and biochemical parameters in an adult (18-55yrs) population of residents of Mampong Akuapem.Design:
This was a population based cross sectional study of a randomly selected sample of the adult population of Mampong. The sample was selected from an updated census list of the Mampong area.Results:
Median values (95 range) for measured parameters were established as follows Haemoglobin; (males) 14.2 g/dl (females) 12.0 g/dl Alanine aminotransferase (ALT); (female) 19.6 U/L (males) 26.1 U/L and Creatinine; (males) 108 mmol/L (females) 93 mmol/L.Conclusion:
In comparison to reference values that are commonly used in Ghana; the haemoglobulin levels from this study were lower; and liver function parameters higher. This could be a result of genetic or environmental differences and calls for the need to establish site specific reference values applicable to our population
