Reference intervals for RET-He, Delta-He, and %Hypo-He in dogs and cats using the Sysmex XN-1000V.

	Parameter	Lower Limit	Upper Limit	CI 90% of Lower Limit	CI 90% of Upper Limit
Dogs (n = 969)	RET-He (pg)	21.1	27.2	20.7–21.3	27.1–27.4
	Delta-He (pg)	−1.7	3.3	−2.0–−1.5	3.1–3.5
	%Hypo-He (%)	0.2	5.1	0.2–0.2	4.7–5.7
Cats (n = 153)	RET-He	13.7	19.3	13.7–13.7	18.4–22.8
	Delta-He	−0.8	4.0	−0.9–−0.2	3.2–5.3
	%Hypo	3.5	94.1	0.7–4.2	90.7–96.1

CI, confidence interval; Delta-He, delta hemoglobin; RET-He, reticulocyte hemoglobin equivalent; %Hypo-He, percentage of hypochromic erythrocytes.
