Lymphocyte Depletion Kinetics Form Help

• This tool requires the following to yield a valid result
  • Values must be entered in units of: [measured value] x 10⁹ cells/liter
    • See chart for conversion among alternative units. [Adapted from the AFRRI BAT program]
  • Values must be in the following ranges
    • Entering > 7.0 x 10⁹ cells/liter will yield warning message: "Lymphocyte count is out of range"
    • Entering < 0.007 x 10⁹ cells /liter will yield warning message: "Lymphocyte count is out of range"
    • For calculations using a single absolute lymphocyte count,the following condition must be present for this tool to calculate a radiation dose
      • Lymphocyte count is > 0.007 x 10⁹ cells/liter and ≤ 1.35 x 10⁹ cells/liter
    • For calculations using multiple absolute lymphocyte counts, the following conditions must be present for this tool to calculate a radiation dose
      • At least one total lymphocyte count must be ≤ 1.35 x 10⁹ cells/liter OR
      • One blood draw must occur ≥ 36 hours after exposure
  • Time range for drawing blood for the lymphocyte depletion kinetics tool
    • Latest allowable time: 264 hours (11 days) after the "date/time of exposure"
    • The tool will not allow entry of any measurements taken before time of exposure.
