Hi hopeful!

Unfortunately, no. I got numbers and flags, but not reference ranges.

My curiosity piqued, I did a little Googling on that topic. It appears to be really complex. I found one 2005 text with different ranges for various age groups, as well as different ranges for peripheral blood, vs. bone marrow aspirate, vs. bone marrow biopsy (not to mention lymph nodes and tonsils!). And there looks to be a little cottage industry surrounding producing research papers that developing reference ranges for every possible ethnicity and nationality.

Here's the 2005 paper that does have some reference ranges.

Good luck!

Greg
