Objective To establish reference ranges of venous blood cell parameters in Lanzhou area ,through investigating 1 880 cases of healthy people .Methods Retrospective analysis method was adopted ,and changes of 26 venous blood cell parameters were observed by using Sysmex XE‐5000 automatic hematology analyzer .Results Some parameters ,including platelet(PLT) and hemo‐globin(Hb) ,were close to normal distribution ,while most of parameters were skewed distribution .In the 6 parameters of white blood cells ,except for percentage of lymphocyte and neutrophi ,the 95% CI of the rest of parameters had statistically significant differences between male and female(P<0 .05) .In the 8 parameters of red blood cell ,except for mean corpuscular haemoglobin con‐centration (MCHC) and standard deviation of red blood cell volume distribution width (RDWSD) ,the 95% CI of the rest of parame‐ters had statistically significant differences between male and female (P<0 .05) .The 95% CI of PLT related parameters and per‐centage of juvenile cells had no statistically significant differences between male and female (P>0 .05) .In some parameters ,there were significant differences between 95% CI observed in this study and reference ranges currently used .Conclusion There are sig‐nificant differences between 95% CI of these parameters and original reference ranges ,so the original reference ranges are lack of ac‐curacy and applicability ,which indicates that it is necessary to scientificlly and rationally establish reference ranges of blood cell in region .
