Detection and Quantification of Hypo- and Hypergranulated Neutrophils on the New Sysmex XN Hematology Analyzer: Establishment of an Adapted Reference Interval for the |
Background: Since the recent introduction of Sysmex hematology analyzers of the XN-series it can be expected that the values of individual hematological parameters might differ between the new XN and the well-established XE platform. One such parameter is called Neutrophil-Granularity-Intensity or NEUT-GI on the XN-series and NEUT-X on the XE-series. Both parameters are used by clinicians to calculate the Granularity-Index (GI-Index), an important tool to detect hypo- or hypergranulated neutrophils occurring during myelodysplasia or inflammation. The aims of this study were to determine if previously reported reference intervals for NEUT-X can be used for NEUT-GI as well and if the GI-Indices on both analyzer platforms correlate with each other. |
