Hyperleukocytosis

Recommended Posts

Hello!

My lab currently uses the Beckman Coulter DXH 800 analyzers.  I was wondering what other labs' procedures are for RBC interference caused by hyperleukocytosis. 

One of the labs in my region is following an old procedure that has them spin the specimen, remove the buffy coat, and run the resuspended RBCs through the analyzer.  Has anyone else heard of doing this?

 

Thanks!

Hi

Why don't you try using the 1:5 dilution method on the DxH analyser - If WBC not to high, then both WBC interference with RBC count* & WBC turbidity with Hb measurement would be reduced / excluded.

Also another question, if hyper leucocytosis, what so important about reporting the RBC & associated parameters? Surely WBC, Hb, Plts & WBC Diff the most important (this is what we do).

*DxH software designed to minimise this effect, but I'm not convinced this very effective.
