Hematology reference intervals for adult cows in France using the Sysmex XT-2000iV analyzer.

ABSTRACT: In order to develop bovine hematology reference intervals (RIs) in accordance with new international recommendations, we analyzed 156 blood specimens of healthy adult dairy and beef cows from 32 farms with a Sysmex XT-2000iV analyzer, and by manual scoring of platelet clumps and white blood cell (WBC) differential. We established RIs by the nonparametric method, and examined effects of age, production type (beef vs. dairy), and stage of lactation. RIs could not be determined for platelet count and indices because clumps were observed in 80% of specimens. Optical and impedance red blood cell (RBC) counts were similar, although statistically different. RIs for analyzer and manual WBC differentials were not different except for lymphocyte concentration, the subpopulations of which were counted manually. Hematocrit was higher in beef than dairy cattle, and hemoglobin was lower in early lactation. Increases in RBC count, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, and RBC distribution width were noted with increasing age, along with decreases in WBC count, neutrophils, and lymphocytes. Most RIs in our study, with the exception of neutrophils, were similar to those previously reported using a flow cytometry analyzer.

Project description:BackgroundThe Sysmex XN-V is derived from the new Sysmex XN series of human hematology analyzers. The main changes from the previously validated XT-2000iV analyzer include an optic-fluorescent analysis for platelets and nucleated RBC count.ObjectiveWe aimed to validate the Sysmex XN-V for canine blood according to American College for Veterinary Clinical Pathology and International Council for Standardization in Hematology recommendations.Materials and methodsCanine EDTA blood specimens and quality control material were analyzed on the Sysmex XN-V to evaluate imprecision, bias, linearity, a comparison with the XT-2000iV analyzer, interference effects, carry-over, and stability. We also verified previously established Sysmex XT-2000iV reference intervals (RIs).ResultsImprecision and bias were low (<5%) for most variables. Observed total error was lower than allowable total error for most measured variables except lymphocytes and monocytes. Visually determined linearity was excellent for all variables, except for lymphocytes. The correlation between the XN-V and XT-2000iV analyzers was high (>0.93) for all variables except MCHC and reticulocyte indices. Correlations between the Sysmex XN-V and manual differential counts were good for neutrophils and eosinophils, acceptable for lymphocytes, and fair for monocytes. Hemolysis, lipemia, and to a lesser extent icterus, had significant effects on measured hemoglobin concentration and associated variables. Carry-over was not visually observed for any variable. Changes in the Sysmex XN-V measurements after storage at 4℃ and 24℃ were similar to those described for the Sysmex XT-2000iV analyzer. The previously established Sysmex XT-2000iV RIs can be used to interpret results from the Sysmex XN-V analyzer for most variables except red blood cell distribution width and mean platelet volume.ConclusionsThe performance of the Sysmex XN-V analyzer was excellent and compared favorably with the Sysmex XT-2000iV analyzer.
