What is Differential Leucocyte Count (DLC) ?

Before going deep into the report format, let’s quickly understand what the Differential Leucocyte Count (DLC) is. The DLC measures the percentage of different types of white blood cells (leucocytes) in the blood, including neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, and basophils. Each of these plays a crucial role in body's immune response, and their proportion can help diagnose various conditions, from infections to hematologic disorders.

Differential Leucocyte Count (DLC) Report Format: Breakdown

The DLC report is often part of a Complete Blood Count (CBC). The report format of DLC usually follows this structure:

Header Information:

  • Patient Details: Full name, Age, Gender, and ID.
  • TAT information: Timestamp for both sample collection and report generation.
  • Doctor's Information: Name of the referral doctor, if applicable.

Test Results Section:

  • Patient's results

    As obvious as it is, a test report should definitely have the patient's test result.

  • Result's Unit

    The unit of the test result must be mentioned correctly in the report. Differential Leucocyte Count (DLC) test is generally reported in “%”

  • Differential Leucocyte Count (DLC) Normal Value / Reference Range

    The report must have the normal Differential Leucocyte Count (DLC) range. It can differ slightly based on the reagents used by the lab and other internal factors, but common Differential Leucocyte Count (DLC) ranges are:

    For neutrophils, it's generally 40-80 For lymphocytes, it's generally 20 - 40 For eosonophils, it's generally 1 - 6 For monocytes, it's generally 2 - 10 For basophils, it's generally < 2

Interpretations

Nowadays, most labs prefer to add interpretations to the reports, making the report more patient-friendly. Labsmart software has interpretations of all routine test pre-filled in the software.

Footer Section:

  • Certifications:

    Display any relevant accreditations (e.g., NABL, ISO), adding to your lab's credibility.

  • Pathologist and technician signature:

    It's mandatory to add a Pathologist and technician signature to the report.

DLC Interpretation

In Labsmart software, this is the inbuilt interpretation for Differential Leucocyte Count (DLC)

Aplastic anemia, drug-induced neutropenia, chemotherapy, folate or B12 deficiency, myelodysplasia, marrow infiltration, cyclic neutropenia, autoimmune or isoimmune neutropenia, Felty syndrome, hypersplenism, sepsis, viral marrow suppression, bone marrow failure syndromes.
Lymphocytes Viral infection (especially infectious mononucleosis, pertussis), thyrotoxicosis, adrenal insufficiency, lymphoid leukemia/lymphoma, chronic infection, drug and allergic reactions, autoimmune diseases Immune deficiency syndromes (eg, HIV), idiopathic drugs.
Monocytes Inflammation, infection, malignancy, tuberculosis, myeloproliferative disorders (eg, CMML) Depleted in overwhelming bacterial infection, hairy cell leukemia.
Eosinophils Allergic states, asthma, drug sensitivity reactions, skin disorders, parasitic and certain fungal infections, Churg- Strauss syndrome, polyarteritis nodosa, response to malignancy (eg, Hodgkin disease, T-cell lymphoma, adenocarcinoma), eosinophilic pneumonia, hyper-eosinophilic syndrome, leukemia (eg, chronic eosinophilic leukemia), myeloid or lymphoid neoplasm with abnormalities of PDGF receptor (alpha or beta) or FGF receptor, mastocytosis Depleted in overwhelming bacterial infection, hairy cell leukemia
Basophils Hypersensitivity reactions, drugs, myeloproliferative disorders (eg, CML), basophilic or mast cell variant of acute or chronic leukemia, inflammatory reaction, certain infections, hypothyroidism Not applicable.

Importance of adding interpretation to reports:

It's very helpful to add interpretation in reports as it makes the reports more patient friendly and also helpful to doctors in some cases. Moreover, presently most labs prefer providing reports with interpretation. Thus, adding interpretation to report will help your lab stay at par with other competitor labs.

Labsmart pathalogy software is a very good platform. I have been using this software after using multiple pathalogy software’s many of them are costly and difficult to understand but Labsmart software is very easy to understand, it's sms feature , sharing pdf and storing database of patients are the best functions of the software. It is a very cost-friendly and less complicated than other software.
