large unstained cells Explanation: If all 30 000 LUC results reported by our laboratory each year were seen by a clinician, calculations show that 23 000 results per year (of which 2500 are abnormal) could not be interpreted. After this was revealed, the laboratory made a footnote saying “lymphocyt? virocyt? Stem cell? (Peroxidase-negative cells (**Large unstained cells 5 LUC)**)” to explain the meaning and to remind clinicians of both viral disease and leukemia as possibilities. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 12 mins (2008-07-12 22:09:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- ** LUC, an acronym for “large unstained cells”**, is displayed on our automatic cell counter (Technicon H3) when large peroxidase-negative cells cannot be characterized further as large lymphocytes, “virocytes”, or stem cells. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 21 mins (2008-07-12 22:18:07 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Frequently the reference range is given as cells per liter: ---> 0.00 - 0.40 x 10^9 cells / l . This is the same as that appearing in your source (it's just a smple conversion problem), which is: 0.00 - 0.40 x 1000 cells / microliter. |
