NEWBORNS/NEONATES/INFANTS
RBC COUNT Increases during the first 24 hours of life, remains at this plateau for about 2 weeks,
“polycythemia”
of the newborn and then slowly declines
WBC COUNT Leukocytosis is typical at birth for full-term and preterm infants.
Fluctuations in the number of WBCs are common at all ages but are greatest in infants
At birth, preterm infants exhibit a left shift, with promyelocytes and myelocytes commonly
observed
PLATELET Same with adults
COUNT The platelet count ranges from 150 to 400 x 109/L for full-term and preterm infants,
comparable to adult values
HEMOGLOBIN Reference interval for a full-term infant at birth is 16.5 to 21.5 g/dL
Abnormal value= less than 14 g/dl
Minimum /Lower limit= 14g/dl
At birth Hb F constitutes 53% to 95% of the total hemoglobin. Hb F declines from 90% to 95%
at 30 weeks’ gestation to approximately 7% at 12 weeks after birth and stabilizes at 2% to 3%
by6 months of age
HEMATOCRIT At birth of full-term infant = 48 to 68% (average of 61%)
The HCT usually increases approximately 5% during the first 48 postnatal hours; this is followed
by a slow linear decline to 46% to 62% at 2 weeks and 32% to 40% between the second and
fourth months
MCV OF Markedly macrocytic.
NEWBORNS
The average MCV for fullterm infants is 119 6 9.4 fL; however, a sharp decrease occurs
during the first 24 hours of life
MCH MCH is 30 to 42 pg in healthy neonates and 27 to 41 pg in premature infants
MCHC Average approximately 33 g/dL.
It is the same for full-term infants, premature infants, and adults
RDW Elevated in newborns
Reference range = 14.2% to 17.8% the first 30 days of life
LYMPHOCYTES Lymphocytes constitute about 30% of the leukocytes at birth and increase to 60% at 4 to 6
months. They decrease to 50% by 4 years, to 40% by 6 years, and to 30% by 8 years
MONOCYTES The mean monocyte count of neonates is higher than adult values. At birth the average
proportion of monocytes is 6%.
EOSINOPHIL The percentages of eosinophils and basophils remain consistent throughout infancy and
childhood.
NEUTROPHIL Full-term and premature infants have a greater absolute neutrophil count than that found in
older children.
RMT2022-KLUBSYBEAR
Newborn girls have absolute neutrophil counts averaging 2000 cells/ml higher than those of
boys;
Neonates whose mothers have undergone labor have higher counts than neonates delivered by
cesarean section with no preceding maternal labor
BAND CELLS Band forms are also higher for the first 3 to 4 days after birth
Vitamin K At birth, the vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors (factors II, VII, IX, and X) are about
dependent 30% of adult values; they reach adult values after 2 to 6 months.
clotting factors
Contact Levels of factor XI, factor XII, prekallikrein, and highmolecular- weight kininogen are between
Factors 35% and 55% of adult values at birth, reaching adult values after 4 to 6 months
Fibrinogen, the levels of fibrinogen, factor VIII, and von Willebrand factor (VWF) are similar to adult
Factor VIII, values throughout childhood
and vwF
Physiologic The physiologic anticoagulants and inhibitors of coagulation (protein C, protein S, and
anticoagulants antithrombin) and a disintegrin and metalloprotease with a thrombospondin type 1
motif, member 13 (ADAMTS13) are reduced at about 30% to 40% at birth
Plasminogen Lower levels and decreased activity in neonates compared with adults
A2-antiplasmin Lower in neonates compared to adult levels
Plasminogen Tissue plasminogen activator (TPA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) levels are
activators increased
However, 5 times the amount of TPA is required to activate plasminogen compared with
activation of plasminogen in adults
PT and APTT Prolonged or longer
Bleeding and The risk of bleeding is not increased in a healthy newborn
thrombosis
The risk of thrombosis is considerably less in neonates and children than in adults.

GERIATRIC/ELDERLY
AGE CATEGORIES Elderly adults can be roughly divided into three age categories:
CATEGORY AGE
Young-old 65 to 74
Old-old 74 to 84
Very old 85 and above
MARROW CELLULARITY Marrow cellularity begins at 80% to
100% in infancy and decreases to about 50% after 30 years, followed
by a decline to 30% after age 65.
RBC PARAMETERS Most RBC parameters (e.g., RBC count, indices, and RDW) for healthy elderly adults
do not show significant deviations from those for younger adults
HEMOGLOBIN There is a gradual decline in hemoglobin starting at middle age, with the mean level
decreasing by about 1 g/dL during the sixth through eighth decades
Men older than 60 years have average hemoglobin levels of 12.4 to 15.3 g/dL.
Elderly women have hemoglobin concentrations ranging from 11.7 to 13.8 g/dL.
Typically, the lowest hemoglobin levels are found in the oldest patients
WBC In the absence of any underlying pathologic condition, there are no statistically
significant differences between the total leukocyte count and WBC
differential for the young-old and old-old and those for middle-aged adults
LYMPHOCYTES Some investigators have reported a lower leukocyte count in elderly adults, owing
primarily to a decrease in the lymphocyte count
The number of naive T cells decreases in elderly adults
WBC FUNCTION Many neutrophil functions are decreased in elderly adults, including chemotaxis,
phagocytosis of microorganisms, and generation of superoxide
MONOCYTE The aging process does not significantly affect the number of monocytes
PLATELET COUNT The platelet count does not significantly change with age.
PLATELET ACTIVITY Platelets increase in activity with age
Decrease in bleeding time in elderly adults
Increase in markers of platelet activation such as b-thromboglobulin and
platelet factor 4 in the a-granules of platelets
Increased platelet phospholipid content
RMT2022-KLUBSYBEAR
HEMOSTASIS Age-related changes occur in the vascular and hemostatic systems, including
alterations in platelets, coagulation, and fibrinolytic factors. These changes contribute
to the increased incidence of thrombosis in elderly adults.
Overall, elderly adults demonstrate a shift of the hemostatic balance toward
increased coagulation and decreased fibrinolysis.
Elderly people are at risk to thrombosis
Clotting factors Fibrinogen, factors V, VII, VIII, IX, and XIII, VWF, highmolecular- weight kininogen,
and pre-kallikrein increase in healthy individuals as they age
Fibrinogen Fibrinogen, which has been implicated as a primary risk factor for thrombotic disorders,
including ischemic heart disease, increases approximately 10 mg/dL per decade
in elderly adults (65 to 79 years), from 280 mg/dL to more than 300 mg/dL
Fibrinolytic system Fibrinolysis is impaired in elderly adults, especially as a result of an increase in PAI-1
D-dimer D-dimer levels trend upward in adults 50 years and older.
HEMOGLOBIN LEVEL IN ANEMIA
Mild anemia 9 to 11 g/dl
-Usually more than 10g/dl but less than the normal value of hemoglobin in adults
Moderate anemia 7 to 10g/dl
-May cause pallor of conjunctivae and nail beds but may not produce clinical symptoms if the onset
of anemia is slow. However, depending on the patient’s age and cardiovascular state, symptoms
such as dyspnea, vertigo, headache, muscle weakness, and lethargy can occur
Severe anemia Less than 7 g/dl
-Usually produce tachycardia, hypotension, and other symptoms of volume loss, in addition to the
symptoms of mild and moderate anemia. Thus, severity of the anemia is gauged by the
degree of reduction in hemoglobin, cardiopulmonary adaptation, and the rapidity of
progression of the anemia
Anemia in newborns Less than 14g/dl
Numerical Description

THOMAS PLOT INTERPRETATION
True IDA sTfR will rise and the ferritin will drop so that the sTfR/log
ferritin will be high and the hemoglobin content of
reticulocytes will be low
Plot: Lower right quadrant
Functional IDA Ferritin may be falsely elevated by inflammation, the
sTfR/log ferritin will be normal despite reduced availability
of iron for hemoglobin production resulting in a low
hemoglobin content in reticulocytes
Plot: Lower left quadrant
Latent IDA As iron deficiency develops, other cells are starved for iron
before erythrocytes; production of hemoglobin in
reticulocytes remains at a normal level for as long as
possible. However, the body’s other iron-starved cells will
increase sTfR production and systemic iron stores of ferritin
will be depleted, thus elevating the sTfR/log ferritin value.
Plot: Upper right quadrant
