Understanding Your Results
Elevated CD34+ cells
May indicate stem cell mobilization, hematologic malignancy, or recovery from treatment
Low CD34+ cells
May indicate bone marrow failure, post-chemotherapy effect, or normal values in healthy individuals
If results are abnormal or if symptoms of blood disorders such as fatigue, weakness, or easy bruising persist.
Limitations
- ⚠Cannot distinguish between normal and abnormal stem cells
- ⚠Requires specialized equipment and expertise
