An electronic particle counter with attached particle-size analyzer was configured to directly determine concentration, mean cell volume, and volume distribution of erythrocytes in llama blood. Blood from 38 healthy llamas was used to characterize erythrocytic measurements and serum iron values for this species. Volume distribution curves for llama erythrocytes were similar in shape to those of other species. These curves had a unimodal, symmetric shape with a tail skewed to the right. Reference ranges for directly measured mean cell volume, erythrocyte concentration, hemoglobin concentration, and mean cell hemoglobin concentration were 21 to 28 fl, 11.3 x to 17.5 x 10(6) cells/microliters, 12.8 to 17.6 g/dl, and 43.2 to 46.6 g/dl, respectively. Reference ranges for serum iron concentration, total iron-binding capacity, and transferrin saturation were determined to be 70 to 148 micrograms/dl, 230 to 370 micrograms/dl, and 22 to 50%, respectively.
一台配有颗粒大小分析仪的电子粒子计数器被配置用于直接测定美洲驼血液中红细胞的浓度、平均细胞体积和体积分布。使用来自38只健康美洲驼的血液来表征该物种的红细胞测量值和血清铁值。美洲驼红细胞的体积分布曲线在形状上与其他物种的相似。这些曲线呈单峰、对称形状，尾部向右偏斜。直接测量的平均细胞体积、红细胞浓度、血红蛋白浓度和平均细胞血红蛋白浓度的参考范围分别为21至28飞升、11.3×至17.5×10⁶个细胞/微升、12.8至17.6克/分升和43.2至46.6克/分升。血清铁浓度、总铁结合力和转铁蛋白饱和度的参考范围分别确定为70至148微克/分升、230至370微克/分升和22至50%。
