Reference Intervals of Hematological Variables for Healthy Antepartum and Postpartum Women
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hematological variables change significantly as a pregnancy progresses. Similarly, hematological variables also change significantly 24 h after birth. These changes are partly attributed to blood dilution, nutrition intake during the periods of pregnancy, and bleeding in the process of delivery [1,2]. A thorough understanding of the hematological changes can serve as a guide for disease diagnosis and the rational use of drug postpartum. To date, the reference intervals for antepartum and postpartum hematological variables have not been fully investigated. Here, we describe the hematological variables 24 h before birth and after birth in this study and then analyze the reference intervals for hematological variables to provide favorable standards for antepartum and postpartum disease diagnosis.

BACKGROUND Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections in pregnant women due to anatomic and physiologic changes in the female urinary tract during pregnancy, and antepartum UTIs can cause adverse pregnancy outcomes that may induce mental stress. There have only been a few studies, however, investigating antepartum UTIs and mental stress. As such, the present ...
