Reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent to detect thalassemia and thalassemic hemoglobin variants
INTRODUCTION Thalassemia and iron deficiency may both result in hypochromic microcytic anemia. Hematological algorithms that differentiate the two are mainly established in adult selected diagnostic groups. We aimed at creating an algorithm applicable in the presence of children, hemoglobin variants, and iron deficiency. METHODS Our study material constituted blood samples referred during 1 y...
متن کاملDetermination of reference ranges for immature platelet and reticulocyte fractions and reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent
INTRODUCTION The immature platelet and immature reticulocyte fractions represent the ratios of platelets and reticulocytes recently released into the circulation and thus with higher RNA content. They are considered early indicators of bone marrow recovery. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the reference ranges for the immature platelet and reticulocyte fractions of hematologic...

متن کاملHemoglobin F level in different hemoglobin variants
BACKGROUND Fetal hemoglobin (HbF) levels in different hemoglobin variants in Osogbo, Nigeria, were estimated using two principal methods of estimation using existing information for HbF concentration and distribution of various hemoglobin variants in the area, as well as diagnosed cases of thalassemia. Two hundred and sixty samples collected from HbSS, HbSC, HbAA, HbAS, and HbAC subjects were a...
متن کاملReticulocyte hemoglobin content in critically ill patients.
To the Editor: We read with interest the article by Fernandez et al. Reticulocyte hemoglobin content (CHr) is a promising marker of iron metabolism, particularly in the intensive care unit setting where usual markers are often disrupted by inflammation. In a small cohort of critically ill patients with no evidence of real iron deficiency, we observed a correlation between C-reactive protein and...
