Immunophenotyping by Flow Cytometry CD13 Test
Introduction to the Test
The Immunophenotyping by Flow Cytometry CD13 Test is a sophisticated diagnostic tool utilized primarily by oncologists and hematologists to analyze and classify blood cancers. This test plays a vital role in identifying specific cell types and their characteristics, which is essential for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment planning.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically measures the expression of the CD13 antigen on the surface of blood cells. By evaluating the presence and levels of this marker, healthcare providers can gain insights into various hematological malignancies, including leukemias and lymphomas.
Who Should Consider This Test
Individuals experiencing symptoms such as unexplained fatigue, frequent infections, or unusual bleeding should consider this test, especially if they have risk factors for blood cancers. Patients with a family history of hematological disorders or those presenting abnormal blood counts may also benefit from this evaluation.
Benefits of Taking the Test
- Provides critical information for the diagnosis of blood cancers.
- Helps in determining the appropriate treatment strategy.
- Facilitates monitoring of disease progression and response to therapy.
- Enhances the understanding of the patient’s immune profile.
