Abstract :Objective: The main aim of this retrospective evaluation of patients presenting with the complaint of acute scrotal pain was to investigate whether large unstained cells insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(LUC); in the hematological data, percentage of LUC, and the other haematological parameters would be of benefit in differential diagnosis. The secondary aim was to investigate the utility of LUC and LUC% as a new biochemical marker in the differential diagnosis of TT and EO. Methods: In this study, a retrospective evaluation was made of patients who presented with the complaint of acute scrotal pain at the emergency polyclinic. The patients were evaluated in three groups; testicular torsion, orchitis, and the control group. Primarily the large unstained cell and other hematological data of the patients were evaluated. Results: Statistical differences were evaluated in LUC, LUC%, platelet, neutrophil, leucocyte, mean platelet volume, neutrophil / lymphocyte, platelet / lymphocyte values among the groups insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p values respectively 0.001, ˂0.001, 0.491, ˂0.001, ˂0.001, 0.031, ˂0.001, 0.001);. The cutoff values for the differentiation of epididimo-orchitis insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(EO); were determined in the differential diagnosis of EO and TT. The highest area under curve values were found for LUC, LUC% and neutrophils, respectively, 0.752 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.660-0.843);, 0.698 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.605-0.790);, 0.383 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0.284-0.482);. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the LUC and LUC% values obtained from complete blood count insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CBC); can be reliably used in the differential diagnosis of EO and TT
