Summary: Reference values of 61 biochemical and hematological blood and serum components are determined, for the first time, on the 2% sample of population of children (age 7-19) of Zagreb and suburbs.

Keywords: Pediatric reference values; Pediatric reference intervals

Research goals: An interpretation of clinical laboratory data for the purpose of medical diagnosis or therapeutic management is a comparative decision making process. To obtain a proper decision, reference values for all laboratory tests are essential. Therefore the purpose of this project is determination of "health associated" reference values as well as the reference intervals with regard to the degree of biological variatons (age, sex and other endogenous and exogenous factors) of all basic biochemical and hematological blood and serum components, derived from a reference sample of healthy children (age 7-19) of the city of Zagreb and suburbs. Our basic guidelines are recommendations developed by the Expert Panel on Theory of Reference Values (EPTRV) of the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) and the Standing Committee on Reference Values of the Internacional Council for Standardization in Haematology (ICSH). The proposed project is the first one in our country. The results should primarily help physicians in pediatric medical practice, for adequate and reliable health care of the children of Zagreb and suburbs.
