QUESTION:
My lab doesn't use k/cumm as the unit for WBCs nor m/cumm for RBCs. How do I enter these into the software?
ANSWER:
Labs worldwide have many ways to express the unit for Total - WBCs and RBCs, including Thousand/ul, x10E3/uL, 10*9/L, K/uL, x 10, 10(3)/uL, x E9/L and 10 3/ul.
We use k/cumm in the software for Total WBCs and Absolute values for the individual WBCS. We use m/cumm for the unit for RBCs.
As mentioned above, there are many different units used. However, they are just different ways of expressing the same thing!
Just enter the result you got from your lab into the software, and you're good to go!
I hope that helps!
