*Unknown reference range is used when sex is not known, undisclosed, or there is a mismatch between birth sex and gender in LIS. Becuase the reference range for these parameters is sex-specific the range may not apply to these patients so a broader range that includes typical ranges for both male and female patients is used.
Critical Ranges:
Pediatric (<= 15 days old) Low Critical Limits:
WBC: <= 2.0 x10^3/uL
HGB: <= 10.0 g/dl
Platelet: <= 30 x10^3/uL
Pediatric (<= 15 days old) High Critical Limits:
WBC: >= 39.0 x10^3/uL
HGB: >= 24.0 g/dl
HCT: >= 70.0%
Platelet: >= 850 x10^3/uL
Low Critical Limits: WBC: <= 1.5 x10^3/uL
HGB: <= 6.0 g/dl
HCT: <=18%
Platelet: <= 30 x10^3/uL
For PFCI: Critical low WBC will not be called to the physician per physician request.
High Critical Limits:
WBC: >= 40.0 x10^3/uL
HGB: >= 19.0 g/dl
HCT: >= 56%
Platelet: >= 850 x10^3/uL
NICU <= 15 days old Critical Limits:
HCT: <=30% and >=70%
Platelet: <= 100.0 x10^3/uL and >= 600 x10^3/uL
NICU >15 days old Critical Limits:
HCT: <=25% and >=70%
Platelet: <= 100.0 x10^3/uL and >= 600 x10^3/uL
Inpatient Oncology Low Critical Limits:
WBC: <= 1.0 x10^3/uL
HGB: <= 5.0 g/dl
Platelet: <=20 x10^3/uL
For Inpatient Oncology: Criticals may be seen repeatedly over several days. In these cases, it is only necessary to call the critical value on the first occurrence of the current admission.
Inpatient Oncology High Critical Limits:
WBC: >=40 x10^3/uL
HGB: >=19 g/dl
Platelet: >= 850 x10^3/uL
For Inpatient Oncology: Criticals may be seen repeatedly over several days. In these cases, it is only necessary to call the critical value on the first occurrence of the current admission.
Ortho Hosptial Patients Low Critical Limits:
HGB: <= 7.5 g/dl
Platelet: <= 50 x10^3/uL
Ortho Hosptial Patients High Critical Limits:
HGB: >=19 g/dl
Platelet: >= 850 x10^3/uL
Test Comments:
IPF (Immature Platelet Fraction) is a measurement of thrombopoietic activity that helps determine the cause of thrombocytopenia (platelet production vs. platelet destruction).
At PRMC, PFCI, PDH, PVH, PKH, PBRY:
If PLT is <50,000, it will automatically reflex the PLT-F to run with the IPF value. IPF value will be reported.
