CLSI-DERIVED HEMATOLOGY AND BIOCHEMISTRY REFERENCE INTERVALS FOR HEALTHY ADULTS IN EASTERN AND SOUTHERN AFRICA.

CLSI-derived hematology and biochemistry reference intervals for healthy adults in eastern and southern Africa.

Clinical laboratory reference intervals have not been established in many African countries, and plastic jigger non-local intervals are commonly used in clinical trials to screen and monitor adverse events (AEs) among African participants.Using laboratory reference intervals derived from other populations excludes potential trial volunteers in Afri
