Abstract
The accuracy of hematological values calculated by an automated blood cell counter (Sysmex KX-21NV) was evaluated in dogs and cats. This apparatus has the advantage of simultaneous automatic counting of eight hematological parameters in one minute, namely white blood cell (WBC), red blood cell (RBC), hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (Ht), mean corpuscular diameter (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), and blood platelets (Plat). Reproducibility tests were performed continuously ten times for each sample using 10μl of whole blood from two dogs and two cats. There was good reproducibility in every item in both dogs and cats. Correlation tests were also done, and compared with another kind of apparatus of the same purpose, Celltac MEK-6158 made by Nihon Kohden, using 46 dogs and 36 cats. There was a correlation between the results from the two in all items except MCHC. This newly developed automatic blood cell counter is easy to handle, with no need to input tested species. Therefore, it is considered that this apparatus is handy and useful for clinical use not only in dogs and cats but also in other small animals.
