The basic principles of hematology used in mammalian medicine can be applied to reptiles. The appearances of the blood cells are significantly different from those seen in most mammals, and vary with taxa and staining method used. Many causes for abnormalities of the reptilian hemogram are similar to those for mammals, although additional factors such as venipuncture site, season, hibernation status, captivity status, and environmental factors can also affect values, making interpretation of hematologic results challenging. Values in an individual should be compared with reference ranges specific to that species, gender, and environmental conditions when available.
哺乳动物医学中使用的血液学基本原理可应用于爬行动物。血细胞的外观与大多数哺乳动物的明显不同,并且会因分类群和所用染色方法的不同而有所变化。爬行动物血液学检查结果异常的许多原因与哺乳动物相似,尽管诸如静脉穿刺部位、季节、冬眠状态、圈养状态和环境因素等其他因素也会影响数值,这使得血液学结果的解读具有挑战性。如有可能,个体的数值应与特定于该物种、性别和环境条件的参考范围进行比较。
