DH76 Clinical Case Analysis Report 2021
1. WBC Measurement
The analyzer obtains the white blood cell differential count using a semiconductor-laser-
based flowcytometry, obtains the white blood cell count/basophils count using the principle
of impedancemethod (also known as Coulter principle) and eventually calculates the
parameters relevant to whiteblood cells.
The analyzer obtains the white blood cell differential count using semiconductor–laser-
based flowcytometry.
Figure1WBC Measurement
By analyzing the DIFF channel scattergram, the analyzer presents the Lym%, Mon%, Eos%
andNeu%.
Each pulse is amplified and compared to the internal reference voltage channel, which only
acceptsthe pulses of certain amplitude. If the pulse generated is above the WBC/BAS lower
Based on the analysis of the DIFF channel scattergram and the Lym region, Neu region,
Mon regionand Eos region, the analyzer calculates the Lym%, Mon%, Eos% and Neu%.
After WBCmeasurement, the analyzer proceeds to calculate Lym#, Neu#, Mon# and Eos#
per the followingequations while Bas# is obtained directly by the Electrical Impedance
method and expressed in109/L.
⚫ White Blood Cell count
WBC count is the number of leukocytes measured directly by counting the leukocytes
passingthrough the aperture.
⚫ Number of Basophils (Bas#)
Bas# is the number of Basophils measured directly by counting the Basophils passing
throughthe aperture.
⚫ Percentage of Basophils (BAS %)
Bas#
BAS% = WBC×100%
2. HGB Measurement
HGB is determined by the colorimetric method.
The WBC/HGB diluent is delivered to the HGB bath where it is mixed with a certain
amount of lyse, which converts hemoglobin to a hemoglobin complex that is measurable at
525 nm. An LED ismounted on one side of the bath and emits a beam of monochromatic
light with a central wavelengthof 525nm. The light passes through the sample and is then
measured by an optical sensor mountedon the opposite side. The signal is then amplified
and the voltage is measured and compared withthe blank reference reading (readings taken
when there is only diluent in the bath).
2.2. HGB
The HGB is calculated using the following equation and expressed in g/L.
Blank Photocurrent
HGB(g/𝐿) = Constant × Ln( )
Sample Photocurrent
3. RBC/PLT Measurement
The analyzer detects the red blood cell count and platelet count and their volume
distribution byimpedance method and eventually obtains the results of related parameters.
RBCs/PLTs are counted and sized by the Electrical Impedance method. This method is
based on themeasurement of changes in electrical resistance produced by a particle, which
in this case is a bloodcell, suspended in a conductive diluent as it passes through an
aperture of known dimensions. Anelectrode is submerged in the liquid on both sides of the
aperture to create an electrical pathway. Aseach particle passes through the aperture; a
transitory change in the resistance between theelectrodes is produced. This changeproduces
a measurable electrical pulse. The number of pulsesthus generated is equal to the number of
Figure4Counting Principle
Each pulse is amplified and compared to the internal reference voltage channel, which only
accepts thepulses of certain amplitude. If the pulse generated is above the RBC/PLT lower
threshold value, itis counted as a RBC/PLT. The analyzer presents the RBC/PLT histogram,
where the x-coordinaterepresents the cell volume (fL) and the y-coordinate represents the
number of the cells.

4. Microcytosis
Report Analysis:
[1] Count result:RBC and PLT counts are normal. MCV value is low;
5. Macrocytosis
Report analysis:
[1] Histogram:tail of RBC histogram aprears small peaks with obivious elevation
Count Result:It is obviously that RBC, HGB and HCT results are out of
propotion. While agglutination of RBC showed, multiple of RBC will be stack up
and pass counting chamber, leading to increasing of pulse and decreasing of actual
counting number. At last the total number of MCH, MCHC counting are decreased.
RBC and HCT are falsely lower. MCH and MCHC counting are increased
abnormally. The influence on WBC ad PLT is little.
6. Thrombocytosis
