New erythrocyte and reticulocyte parameters available on modern hematology analyzers have shown to be useful markers in children. However, pediatric method-specific reference ranges for these indices are sparse. We aim to establish pediatric reference values for reticulocyte parameters and hypochromic red blood cells in healthy children with the ADVIA 2120 hematology analyzer. ⋯ Establishing reliable pediatric reference intervals for these novel hematological parameters may offer valuable prospects for clinical practice and research in the pediatrics field.
