Understanding Your Results

Results of the CD64 test are interpreted based on the expression levels of the protein on immune cells, which can indicate the presence and severity of immune activation or suppression.
📊

May indicate bacterial infection, acute inflammation, autoimmune activity, or certain malignancies such as cancer.

📊

Suggests no significant immune activation or inflammation within normal ranges.

📊

Could indicate immune suppression, chronic conditions, or specific deficiencies; further evaluation may be needed.

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If test results are abnormal, symptoms persist or worsen, or if there are concerns about immune function or cancer risk, consult a hematologist or oncologist for comprehensive evaluation and management.

Risks & Considerations

  • Minor bruising or soreness at the blood collection site
  • Slight risk of infection or bleeding
  • Discomfort or pain during bone marrow aspiration

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Immunophenotyping by Flow Cytometry CD64 Test?
It is a diagnostic test that uses flow cytometry to analyze the CD64 protein on white blood cells, helping to identify and monitor conditions like cancer, infections, and autoimmune disorders.
How is the CD64 test performed?
The test requires a blood or bone marrow sample. Blood is drawn from a vein, or bone marrow is aspirated, and the sample is analyzed using flow cytometry to measure CD64 expression.
What does the CD64 test measure?
It measures the level of CD64 (Fc?RI) protein on the surface of monocytes and macrophages, which can indicate immune activation, infection, inflammation, or malignancy.
Why is this test important for cancer diagnosis?
CD64 expression is often elevated in certain cancers, making it a valuable marker for diagnosing, staging, and monitoring treatment response in cancer patients.
What sample is required for the test?
The test requires 3 mL of whole blood in EDTA and Sodium Heparin tubes or 2 mL of bone marrow in a Sodium Heparin tube.
Is fasting required before the CD64 test?
No, fasting is not typically required for this test. However, provide your clinical history to the healthcare provider.
How long does it take to get results?
Results are usually available on the same day or within 2 business days after the sample reaches the laboratory.
What is the cost of the CD64 test in India?
DNA Labs India offers the test at INR 3500, which includes the test fee and report generation, with free home collection in many cities.
Is home sample collection available for this test?
Yes, DNA Labs India provides free home sample collection for online bookings across numerous cities in India.
What are the risks associated with the test?
Risks are minimal and may include minor bruising, soreness at the collection site, slight infection risk, or discomfort during bone marrow aspiration.
How should I prepare for the CD64 test?
No special preparation is needed. Inform your doctor about any medications, allergies, or health conditions before the test.
What do abnormal results from the CD64 test mean?
Abnormal results, such as elevated CD64 levels, may suggest active infection, inflammation, or cancer. Consult your healthcare provider for interpretation and next steps.
