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.
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.
