Haematological and biochemical studies in tigers (Panthera tigris tigris)

Haematological and biochemical studies in tigers (Panthera tigris tigris)

Haematological and biochemical studies were conducted on 12 clinically healthy tigers of Central India. The range and mean (with one standard deviation), respectively for the parameters examined were: red blood cells, 4.66 to 9.15, 7.9 ± 1.42, 106/μl; haemoglobin, 7.8 to 13.8, 12.8 ± 1.65 g/dl; pack...

Description
Summary:Haematological and biochemical studies were conducted on 12 clinically healthy tigers of Central India. The range and mean (with one standard deviation), respectively for the parameters examined were: red blood cells, 4.66 to 9.15, 7.9 ± 1.42, 106/μl; haemoglobin, 7.8 to 13.8, 12.8 ± 1.65 g/dl; packed cell volume, 36 to 45, 38 ± 2.54; icterus index, 2 to 5, 2 ± 1.51 U; erythrocyte sedimentation rate, 14 to 26, 21 ± 4.21 mm at 1 h; white blood cells, 6.2 to 11.05, 8.5 ± 1.49, 103/μl; neutrophils, 57 to 75, 60 ± 5.08%; lymphocytes, 18 to 35, 30 ± 4.56%; monocytes, 2 to 6, 5 ± 1.21%; eosinophils, 2 to 6, 4 ± 1.3; basophils, 0 to 4, 1 ± 1.21; plasma albumin, 2.1 to 4.6, 3.5 ± 0.99 mg/dl; total protein, 3.7 to 8.7, 6.4 ± 1.88 mg/dl; total bilirubin, 0.4 to 3.2, 1.9 ± 1.21 mg/dl; creatinine, 1.6 to 4.6, 2.90 ± 1.03 mg/dl; blood urea nitrogen, 6.5 to 48.2, 27.90 ± 13.77 mg/dl; glutamic pyruvic transaminase, 21.2 to 109.0, 67.88 ± 27.84 IU/L and glutamic oxaloacetate transaminase, 14.4 to 84, 57.96 ± 17.27 IU/L; index conspicuous erythrocyte sedimentation rate; absence of reticulocytes and predominance of neutrophils.
