REFERENCE VALUES OF HEMATOLOGICAL PARAMETERS INHEALTHY POPULATION IN MOROCCO

Our study aims to determine the reference values of the CBC in an adult and healthy moroccan population. This is a studyof 996 cases including 874 men and 122 women whose samples were analyzed by the Coulter LH 750 controller thenentered and analyzed by SPSS statistical software. The reference values obtained for the main parameters are: GB between5,10x109- 11,58 x 109/L for women and 4,60 x 109- 13,81 x 109/L for men, PNN between 2,05 x 109 – 9,46 x 109/L forwomen and 1,60 x 109 – 9,80 x 109/L for men and the LYM between 0,42 x 109 – 4,18 x 109/L for women and 0,59 x 109– 4,41 x 109/L for men. The HB between 10.10 to 16.97 g / dL for women and 13.8 to 20.21 g / dL for men, PLQ between121,13 x 109 - 341,00 x 109/L for women and 108,00×109-327,25 x 109 /L for men. Comparing our results with those ofliterature or other studies revealed the existence of several dissimilarities. They are mainly due to ethnicity, smoking andhabits of individuals. This preliminary study has achieved the baseline blood counts for a Moroccan sample and detectspotential differences among populations, often involving diagnostic decisions; hence the need for the establishment of ourown intervals reference through more extended studies in different regions of Morocco. This must be done under theresponsibility of the health authorities and the values obtained must be validated to be applied to the disparities revealed byour study.
