Amphibians are a diverse class of animals with a unique life cycle. Intrinsic and extrinsic factors contribute to the wide variability in normal hematologic parameters. Reference values are scarce, and normal hematology of many species is poorly understood. Challenges include analytic obstacles posed by nucleated red blood cells and thrombocytes and potential difficulty with obtaining blood samples of adequate volume and without lymph contamination. Despite these limitations, it is possible to obtain hematologic data that may be useful in assessing an animal's current health, progression of disease, or response to therapy. In this article, amphibian blood sample collection and handling guidelines, hematologic tests, cell morphology and function, hematopoiesis, interpretation of results, and disorders and diseases are described.
两栖动物是一类具有独特生命周期的多样动物。内在和外在因素导致正常血液学参数存在广泛差异。参考值稀缺，许多物种的正常血液学情况了解甚少。挑战包括有核红细胞和血小板带来的分析障碍，以及获取足够体积且无淋巴污染的血液样本可能存在的困难。尽管有这些限制，但仍有可能获得有助于评估动物当前健康状况、疾病进展或治疗反应的血液学数据。本文描述了两栖动物血液样本采集与处理指南、血液学检测、细胞形态与功能、造血作用、结果解读以及疾病与病症。
