초록

임상검사실에서의 혈소판 수 계산은 지혈이상의 진단과 치료에 필수적이며, 혈소판 수가 적은 경우 혈소판 수혈이 필요하고 항암치료 후 혈소판 수 경과를 모니터링하는데 매우 중요하다. 정도관리는 환자결과를 내보내기 전에 검사실에서 오류를 줄이고 교정하는 과정이며 분절된 적혈구는 혈소판과 크기가 비슷하여 혈소판 수 계산에 영향을 미친다. 검사실에서 내부정도관리low QC물질이 2SD를 벗어난 것을 경험하였고, 지금까지 용혈과 혈소판 지표들과의 관계에 대해 밝혀진 것이 충분하지 않아 연구를 시작하였다. 이에 본 연구에서는 XN CHECK low level QC물질을 이용해 PLT-I, PLT-O, PLT-F 방법간의 혈소판 수치를 비교하였으며, 용혈검체를 만들어 5가지 혈소판지표들에 대해 비교분석 하였다. 그 결과PLT-F방법에서 CV값이 가장 적게 나타났으며, 용혈검체에서 P-LCR 수치가 18.4%에서 31.9%로 증가함을 보였다. 이 연구를 통해 혈소판 수치가 낮은 경우는 PLT-F방법으로 하는 것이 더 정확하며, 검체가 용혈이나 변질이 의심되는 경우 이를 평가할 때 P-LCR을 새로운 지표로 제시하고 있으며, 사람 혈액검체를 이용한 추후 연구가 더 필요할 것이라고 사료된다.

The platelet count in clinical laboratories is essential for the diagnosis and treatment of hemostasis abnormalities, and accurate platelet counting in the low count range is of prime importance for deciding if a platelet transfusion is needed and for monitoring after chemotherapy. Quality control is designed to reduce and correct any deficiencies in the internal analytical process of a clinical laboratory prior to the release of patient results. Fragmented erythrocytes are the major confusing factors for platelet counting because of their similar size to platelets. The authors found that the low range QC values were out of 2SD with a Sysmex automatic analyzer in internal quality control process. Thus far, there has been little discussion on the relationship between hemolysis and the platelet parameters. Therefore, this study focused on the performance of automated platelet counts, including the PLT-F, the PLT-I, and PLT-O methods at the low platelet range using the low level QC materials and compared the 5 platelet parameters with the hemolyzed samples. The results showed that the CV was the smallest with PLT-F and P-LCR increased from 18.4 to 31.9% in the hemolysis samples. These results indicate that a more accurate estimation of the platelet counts can be achieved using the PLT-F method than the PLT-I method at the low platelet range. The use of the PLT-F system improves the confidence of results in low platelets samples in a routine hematology laboratory. The results suggest that P-LCR is a new parameter in assessing samples when the specimen is suspected of hemolysis and deterioration. Nevertheless, further studies will be needed to establish the relationship with P-LCR and hemolysis using human blood specimens.
