    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Pathology
    • Medical Laboratory Science
    • Hematology

    Background:

    • Traditional units for reporting haematological test results are being replaced.
    • Standardization of laboratory reporting is crucial for international communication and data comparison.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce the Systeme Internationale (SI) units for haematological test results.
    • To provide a reference for normal ranges using both new (SI) and old units.
    • To discuss the implications of these new normal values in clinical practice.

    Main Methods:

    • Comparison of commonly used haematological tests.
    • Presentation of normal ranges in both SI and conventional units.
    • Literature review on the clinical significance of SI unit adoption.

    Main Results:

    • Key haematological tests and their normal ranges are detailed in SI units.
    • Direct comparison tables between SI and old units are provided for clarity.
    • The shift to SI units facilitates more accurate and consistent interpretation of results.

    Conclusions:

    • Adoption of SI units in haematology is essential for global standardization.
    • Understanding the conversion and new normal ranges is vital for healthcare professionals.
    • This transition supports improved patient care through clearer diagnostic reporting.
