HEMATOLOGICAL PARAMETERS OF BLOOD DONORS ASSESSED USING A HEMATOLOGY ANALYZER
We evaluated hematological parameters of blood donors in Grozny, Chechen Republic using an automatic hematology analyzer (Sysmex XS-1000i, Japan). The study was conducted in two age groups: the first group (21-35 years) and the second group (35-60 years). In total, we measured 19 various blood parameters. Significant differences between men and women in both age groups were observed only for the total number of erythrocytes, hematocrit, and hemoglobin. In the younger age group, we also found statistically significant differences in total number of platelets and thrombocyte between men and women. We evaluated blood parameters of donors in Grozny were within the normal limits, provided by the manufacturer of the hematology analyzer. Thus, according to the results of automated blood testing, there are statistically significant age and gender differences in erythrocyte, leukocyte and platelet count in donors from Grozny.
