ABSTRACT
It is known that the reference values provided by commercial suppliers of reagents and/or laboratory instruments are based on a population of clinically healthy individuals, who do not belong to the study population. Because of this it is necessary to implement reference intervals that meet the population studied, obtained in the clinical laboratory itself, in order to evaluate the results obtained in the context of the local population. The aim of this study was to determine reference ranges for basic coagulation tests for which a total of 45,120 data using Excel for Windows, version 2010 were analyzed. The result was that the difference between the calculated and routinely used interval, are minimal despite coming from different populations except fibrinogen.
