WBC, White blood cell; RBC, red blood cell; HGB, hemoglobin; HCT, hematocrit; MCV, mean corpuscular volume; MCH, mean corpuscular hemoglobin; RDW, red cell distribution width; MCHC, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration; PLT, platelet count; PDW, platelet distribution width.
Values are presented as the mean ± SD. Student's t test was used to compare differences between two groups.
