Anucleated bodies/Round cells in Prostatic fluid by Manual count
Active
Term Description
Using light microscopy, semen and prostatic fluid often contains 'anucleate bodies', sometimes as the most prevalent non-sperm component of semen. The anucleate bodies are generally considered a biproduct of spermatogenesis, resulting from the shedding of excess cytoplasm by spermatozoa.
Part Description
LP156421-2 Round cells
The cells called 'round cells' in semen and prostatic fluid are mostly comprised of white blood cells and immature spermatogenic cells. These 2 cell types are difficult to distinguish by conventional microscopy. According to the WHO manual of semen analysis, if the round cell estimate in semen exceeds 1 x 10^6 / ml, they should be further analyzed to distinguish origin and type. This may include peroxidase stain or other leukocyte markers, as elevated numbers of WBCs could indicate infection or inflammation.

- Change Reason
- Release 2.79: COMPONENT: Triggered by Coll w SCT: This is a specific fraction case where the denominator is percentage or /100. Because the logic is that the percentage piece is captured by Property: NFr (Numeric Fraction), and by Unit: %, therefore, it is redundant to include "100" in the component;
