Reference Ranges and Gender Differences in Blood Parameter Establishment at Dental Institutions: A Prospective Study

Gender differences in haematological variables were shown to be considerable in the majority of this research as such, determining this difference and estimating the population’s reference range are crucial. The goal of the current study was to establish a range of comparison for the general population as well as to evaluate the haematological variations in several blood parameters between males and females. The research was organised on a total of 250 patients with 125 males (50%) and 125 females (50%) in the haematology laboratory of the institution. 20 µl of capillary blood obtained by puncturing the skin over a finger was introduced into 100 µl of diluent. The contents of diluent are sodium sulfate, sodium chloride, a buffering agent, EDTA, formaldehyde, 1pyridone-2-sulphur a with pH of the 6.2-7.6. The study shows that the mean values of red blood cells, Haemoglobin, Haematocrit, mean corpuscular volume and Mean corpuscular Haemoglobin were statistically substantially reduced in men compared to females (p < 0.001), and that the mean values of MCHC were considerably lower in females than in males (). PLT and PCT, two haematological markers, were marginally higher in females than in men, with statistically significant findings at p < 0.05. Compared to only reporting cell counts, the CBC provides a wealth of detailed information about every blood cell. Even if there are new molecular analysis-based diagnostic and prognostic techniques available today, it’s still crucial to recognize the significance of the tests that doctors have been prescribing for decades. Our research would contribute to the updating of current data on blood variables, their reference range, and gender variance at the regional level.
