Diagnostic Analysis of Thalassemia and Iron Deficiency Anemia Using a Fully Automated Blood Cell Analyzer for Routine Blood Tests
Objective:To explore the value of the differential diagnosis of thalassemia and iron deficiency anemia.Methods:The study was conducted from January 2022 to December 2022,with 100 anemia patients diagnosed in our hospital included in the observation group.In addition,100 healthy individuals who underwent physical examinations during the same period were selected as the control group.After admission,blood routine tests were conducted using a fully automated blood cell analyzer,and the results of blood routine tests were compared and analyzed between the two groups of patients.Results:The observation group showed significant differences in red blood cells,hemoglobin,average red blood cell volume,average red blood cell hemoglobin content,reticulocyte level,and red blood cell distribution width compared to the control group(P<0.05);Compared with thalassemia patients,the mean red blood cell volume,red blood cell distribution width were higher,and low(P<0.05),and the mean red blood cell hemoglobin content was not significantly different by statistical analysis(P>0.05).Conclusion:The use of a fully automated blood cell analyzer for blood routine testing can achieve accurate differentiation between patients with thalassemia and iron deficiency anemia.Blood routine related detection indicators are beneficial for providing valuable experimental evidence for the differential diagnosis of the two diseases.
