Haematological and biochemical reference values were established from 45 clinically healthy koalas. Statistical analysis revealed no significant differences for sex and season of sampling. Immature koalas had significantly higher alkaline phosphatase and inorganic phosphate values, and significantly lower total protein concentrations due to low globulins values. Enzyme reference values tended to be wide and could limit their usefulness in detecting disease. In the reference values for leukocytes, neutrophils and lymphocytes, the inclusion of low values which were not actually seen may interfere with the detection of reduced levels due to disease.
从45只临床健康的树袋熊身上建立了血液学和生化参考值。统计分析显示，采样的性别和季节没有显著差异。未成熟的树袋熊碱性磷酸酶和无机磷酸盐值显著较高，由于球蛋白值低，总蛋白浓度显著较低。酶参考值往往范围较宽，可能会限制其在疾病检测中的作用。在白细胞、中性粒细胞和淋巴细胞的参考值中，纳入实际未出现的低值可能会干扰对疾病导致的水平降低的检测。
