Frequency distribution and 95% range of a variety of commonly measured blood constituents in healthy Nepalese donors.
The most frequently measured biochemical and haematological blood constituents were assayed in 431 healthy Nepalese blood donors. As only 19 subjects were female analysis of their data was confined to calculation of the geometric mean. For the 412 males frequency distribution, geometric mean and 95% range were calculated for each constituent. Male and female male values were compared. It is hoped that 95% normal ranges might provide a better standard against which to compare data from Nepalese patients than the previously used reference ranges derived from ethnically different populations.
