Data are expressed as median (IQR, interquartile range) or mean ± standard deviation (SD), according to distribution. ACI, anemia of chronic inflammation; AID, acute inflammatory disease; CHA, chronic hemorrhagic anemia; Delta-He, delta hemoglobin; Hb, hemoglobin concentration; HCT, hematocrit; MCH, mean corpuscular hemoglobin; MCHC, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration; MCV, mean corpuscular volume; PLT, platelet count; RBC, red blood cell count; RBC-He, mature erythrocyte hemoglobin equivalent; RDW, red blood cell distribution width; RET-He, reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent; WBC, leucocyte count; %Hypo-He, percentage of hypochromic erythrocytes. 1 p < 0.05 vs. healthy animals. 2 p < 0.05 vs. AID. 3 p < 0.05 vs. CHA. a Parameter with normal distribution both in dogs and cats. b Parameter with normal distribution in cats.
