Reading Between the Cells: Making Sense of WBC Differentials
Manage episode 494249724 series 3677352
Full blood counts: We all request thousands and glance at them every day. If there’s one test worth understanding inside out, it’s this one.
This episode focuses on white cells: how modern analysers generate a differential count, why they throw up so many flags, and when you should pick up the phone.
Learn how to interpret automated white cell differentials, when to insist on a blood film, and why a bit of technological insight might save you from the missed diagnosis—or the 3am emergency that wasn’t.
By the end, you’ll read differentials with fresh confidence and know what to make of that 'immature granulocyte' flag.
