Understanding Your Results

Interpretation of the Immunohistochemistry CD61 Test involves assessing the presence and intensity of CD61 staining in tissue samples to identify platelets or megakaryocytes.
Positive CD61 staining indicates the presence of platelets or megakaryocytes in the tissue
Useful for identifying micromegakaryocytes in myeloproliferative disorders
Aids in diagnosing acute megakaryoblastic leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes
Can help in cancer diagnosis by highlighting platelet-related components or tumor infiltration
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult your doctor if you experience symptoms of bleeding or clotting disorders, or if recommended for cancer diagnosis based on clinical history.

Why is this test performed?
It is performed to diagnose hematological conditions like thrombocytopenia, myeloproliferative disorders, and to aid in cancer diagnosis and staging.
How is the test conducted?
A tissue biopsy is collected, preserved, and stained with antibodies against CD61. The stained tissue is then examined under a microscope.

Who should undergo this test?
Individuals with suspected platelet disorders, hematological malignancies, or cancer, as recommended by a doctor based on symptoms or clinical findings.
What does a positive result mean?
A positive result indicates the presence of CD61-stained cells, such as platelets or megakaryocytes, which can help in diagnosing specific diseases.
Can this test detect cancer?
Yes, it can aid in cancer diagnosis by identifying cancer cells in tissues or assessing platelet involvement, but it is not a standalone cancer detection test.
Is fasting required for the test?
No, fasting is not required as the test involves tissue biopsy rather than blood sample collection.
