Understanding Your Results

Results are interpreted based on the percentage of CD49d-positive cells. Abnormal levels may indicate hematologic conditions, but clinical correlation is essential.
Elevated CD49d expression may suggest aggressive hematologic malignancies like certain leukemias or lymphomas.
Low or normal expression may be seen in healthy individuals or non-malignant conditions.
Results should always be reviewed in conjunction with clinical symptoms, medical history, and other diagnostic tests.
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult your oncologist or hematologist if test results are abnormal, if symptoms persist or worsen, or for further evaluation and treatment planning.
