Comparison of Hematological Measurements for HbAA and HbSS Subjects^a

Subject (n)	Hb g/liter	HCT %	WBC	Monocyte, %	RBC	Retic, %
Normal range	110–174	33–52	3.7–9.4 × 10⁹/liter	5–12	3.6–5.8 × 10¹²/liter	0.5–2.0
HbAA (9)	124 ± 8	37 ± 2	6.0 ± 0.7	8 ± 3	4.4 ± 0.3	0.7 ± 0.3
HbSS (12)	84 ± 13	24 ± 4	12.7 ± 3.4	9 ± 3	2.8 ± 0.5	11.5 ± 4.0
P	<0.001	<0.001	<0.001	0.347	<0.001	<0.001

Values are mean ± SD, P values Student’s t test.

Hb = hemoglobin, HCT = hematocrit, WBC = white blood cell, RBC = red blood cell, Retic = reticulocyte. HbSS had significantly lower Hb, HCT and RBC and significantly higher WBC and Retic% compared with the HbAA. Monocyte % was not different across the groups.
