Step 1

Sample Collection

Provide detailed clinical history, including symptoms and prior treatments. Ensure no recent blood transfusions within 4-6 weeks.

Method: Venipuncture for blood, aspiration for bone marrow

Step 2

Laboratory Analysis

For blood, use standard venipuncture; for bone marrow, aspiration must be performed by a trained professional. Label samples correctly.

Step 3

Report Delivery

Ship immediately at room temperature (18-22°C). Do not refrigerate or freeze. Include clinical history form.

Timeline: Same day or within 24 hours of sample receipt.

Patient Instructions

1
Before the Test:Ensure clinical history is provided and follow pre-collection instructions. Avoid recent transfusions if possible.
2
During the Test:Sample collection as per guidelines; minimal discomfort for blood draw, potential pain for bone marrow aspiration.
3
After the Test:Wait for results within 24 hours. Discuss findings with your doctor for interpretation and next steps.

Understanding Your Results

Results are analyzed by a qualified pathologist to determine leukemia subtype, guiding diagnosis and treatment.
📊

Positive for T-cell markers

Suggests T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL)

📊

Positive for B-cell markers

Suggests B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL)

📊

Positive for myeloid markers

Suggests acute myeloid leukemia (AML)

📊

Mixed or ambiguous markers

May indicate biphenotypic or ambiguous leukemia, requiring further testing

⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

If experiencing symptoms like fatigue, bruising, fever, or if abnormal blood test results are obtained, consult a hematologist or oncologist promptly.

Limitations

  • Cannot detect all rare leukemia subtypes
  • Requires expert pathologist interpretation
  • Sample quality and volume critical for accuracy

Risks & Considerations

  • Minor bruising or pain at blood draw site
  • Pain or discomfort during bone marrow aspiration
  • Rare risk of infection at aspiration site

Interfering Factors

  • Improper sample handling or contamination
