Reference intervals of complete blood count and coagulation tests in Vietnamese pregnant women.

Background: Pregnancy has major effects that make hematology parameters outside of normal reference ranges. Therefore, we conducted this study to establish reference intervals for Vietnamese pregnant women.

Methods: From June 2023 to Augst 2023, blood samples from 879 eligible pregnant women were run on DxH 900 hematology analyzer and ACL TOP 550 coagulation analyzer.

Cytogenetic Characteristics of de novo Acute Myeloid Leukemia in Southern Vietnam.

Background: The cytogenetic characteristics are important factors for risk stratification at diagnosis of acute myeloid leukemia (AML); however, cytogenetic profile of Vietnamese patients with AML remains undetermined. In this study, we present the chromosomal data of de novo AML patients in Southern Vietnam.

Methods: We performed cytogenetic testing for 336 AML patients using G banding.

Safety, clinical and laboratory characteristics of donors with thalassemia minor in living donor kidney transplant: a case series.

Background: Due to the increasing demand for kidney transplants, sometimes donors with underlying medical conditions can be considered for living kidney donor transplant. Thalassemia is amongst the most common inherited disorders of hemoglobin globally, which is not restricted as an exclusion criterion. However, there is currently no study examine the safety and characteristics of kidney donors with thalassemia minor.

Successful secondary thromboprophylaxis with direct oral anticoagulants for a patient with catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome: A case report.

Rationale: Catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome (CAPS) is a rare, life-threatening condition of antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). Treatment and management of CAPS remain challenging and the mortality rate is approximately 50% among cases. We describe a successfully treated case of a CAPS patient who had undergone massive bowel resection due to obstruction of superior mesenteric artery.

The validity of reticulocyte hemoglobin content and percentage of hypochromic red blood cells for screening iron-deficiency anemia among patients with end-stage renal disease: a retrospective analysis.

Background: Early detection of iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) can enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of clinical treatment and quality of life for end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients. This study aimed to evaluate the validity of CHr and %Hypo in screening IDA among ESRD patients and compare their performance with screening IDA among non-ESRD patients.

Method: A retrospective analysis of 312 participants was conducted at Cho Ray Hospital, Vietnam, including healthy control participants and ESRD patients.
