Immunophenotyping By Flow Cytometry CD36 Test
Introduction to the Immunophenotyping By Flow Cytometry CD36 Test
The Immunophenotyping By Flow Cytometry CD36 Test is a specialized diagnostic tool used in the field of oncology and hematology. This test is crucial for identifying and characterizing various hematological malignancies, including leukemia and lymphoma. By analyzing the expression of CD36 on the surface of blood cells, healthcare providers can gain valuable insights into a patient’s condition, guiding treatment decisions and improving outcomes.
What Does the Test Measure?
This test measures the presence and levels of CD36, a glycoprotein involved in various cellular processes, on the surface of blood cells. Abnormal expression of CD36 can indicate the presence of certain types of cancer, making it a vital component in the diagnostic process.
Who Should Consider This Test?
Patients who may benefit from the Immunophenotyping By Flow Cytometry CD36 Test include:
- Individuals showing symptoms of blood disorders such as unexplained fatigue, frequent infections, or unusual bleeding.
- Patients with a family history of hematological malignancies.
- Those with abnormal blood test results that require further investigation.
Benefits of Taking the Test
The Immunophenotyping By Flow Cytometry CD36 Test offers several advantages:
- Rapid results with same-day reporting, allowing for timely diagnosis and treatment.
- Non-invasive sample collection, minimizing discomfort for patients.
- Accurate identification of hematological malignancies, aiding in personalized treatment plans.
