🩸 NRBC-Corrected WBC
UseWhen to use: manual differentials listing NRBC/100 WBC on an uncorrected analyzer count.
StrataMaterial correction when NRBC count is high.
LimitsWhen not to use: analyzer already NRBC-corrected. · Pitfall: confusing %NRBC with absolute NRBC. · Investigate persistent NRBCs.

How it works
Corrected WBC = WBC × 100 / (100 + NRBC).
Key points
- NRBC correction.
- Check lab method.
- Next: smear review.

Worked calculation
The values below come from this tool's own example placeholders and are computed server-side with the formula shown on this page, so the arithmetic can be checked quickly. It demonstrates how to substitute values only — it is not clinical advice and not a real case.
| Uncorrected WBC | 18.0 ×10⁹/L |
|---|---|
| NRBCs | 25 per 100 WBC |
→Corrected WBC14.40×10⁹/L
- Uncorrected：18.00
- NRBC：25 /100 WBC
- Cue：NRBC ≥10/100 WBC — correction materially changes count

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Does NRBC-Corrected WBC upload patient data? Where is it calculated?
- Calculation runs locally in the browser; inputs and results are not uploaded. For licensed clinicians only; interpret with history, investigations and local protocols — not a diagnosis or prescription.
- How is NRBC-Corrected WBC calculated in practice? Can you show a worked example?
- Inputs: Uncorrected WBC 18.0 ×10⁹/L, NRBCs 25 per 100 WBC → Result: Corrected WBC 14.40 ×10⁹/L（Uncorrected: 18.00, NRBC: 25 /100 WBC, Cue: NRBC ≥10/100 WBC — correction materially changes count）
