Frequently Asked Questions

What is the CD15 Flow Cytometry Test?
It is a diagnostic test that uses flow cytometry to measure the expression of CD15 antigen on white blood cells, aiding in the diagnosis of blood cancers.
Why is this test recommended?
To help diagnose conditions like Hodgkin's lymphoma, AML, and other hematologic malignancies when symptoms such as fever, weight loss, or enlarged lymph nodes are present.
How is the sample collected?
Blood is drawn via venipuncture into specific tubes (EDTA and Sodium Heparin) or bone marrow is aspirated.
Is fasting required before the test?
No, fasting is not required. However, providing a brief clinical history is essential.
What is the cost of the test?
The cost is INR 3500.0, and home collection is available at no extra charge.
How long does it take to get the results?
Results are typically available the same day if the sample is received by 9 am.
What do abnormal results indicate?
Abnormal CD15 expression may suggest certain types of leukemia or lymphoma, but results must be interpreted by a specialist in context.
Are there any risks associated with the test?
Risks are minimal, such as bruising from blood draw; bone marrow aspiration carries slight infection risk.
Can this test diagnose cancer definitively?
It is a supportive test; definitive diagnosis requires correlation with clinical findings and other investigations.
