Trimester Pattern of Change and Reference Ranges of Hematological Profile Among Sudanese Women with Normal Pregnancy

Abstract: Trimester specific reference ranges of hematological indices were described in several populations; however, comparable reports among Sudanese women with normal pregnancy are lacking. To evaluate trimester pattern of change and reference ranges of hematological profile among Sudanese women with normal pregnancy, we followed 143 women with singleton gestation since early pregnancy until the third trimester in Saad Abu-Alela Hospital, Khartoum, Sudan, during the period of January-December 2015.

“…The median MCV and MCH values increase as pregnancy advances from first to third trimesters in this study. This was comparable with the finding reported from Nigeria [ 37 ], and Sudan [ 38 ]. Inconsistent findings were reported from other Nigerian studies [ 39 ], and Ethiopian studies [ 36 ].…”

“…The numbers were finally expressed as the number of pigmented cells neutrophils or monocytes /L. Two ml of blood was taken from each participant in an ethylene diamine tetra acetic acid (EDTA) containing tube and immediately analysed for a complete haemogram using an automated haematology analyser (Sysmex XN-9000; Hyogo, Japan) as previously described and following the manufacturer's instructions [15][16][17]. The haemogram included haemoglobin level, leucocyte count and platelet indices, namely platelet count, mean platelet volume (MPV), and platelet distribution width (PDW).…”
