Restleukozytenmengen

Restleukozytenmengen refers to the number of white blood cells (leukocytes) that remain in a biological sample after a specific process, typically involving the removal or manipulation of other cells. This term is commonly encountered in the context of blood processing, particularly in transfusion medicine and research laboratories. When blood is processed to isolate certain components like platelets or plasma, a residual population of white blood cells may remain. The quantity of these residual leukocytes is often referred to as the restleukozytenmengen. Monitoring this quantity is important for several reasons. In blood transfusions, a high restleukozytenmengen can be associated with adverse reactions, such as febrile non-hemolytic transfusion reactions, and may necessitate the use of leukoreduced blood products. Leukoreduction is a process designed to remove the majority of white blood cells. In research, understanding the restleukozytenmengen is crucial for experiments that require specific cell populations or for controlling variables related to immune cell presence. Accurate measurement and control of restleukozytenmengen are therefore vital for both clinical safety and scientific rigor.
