Overview

The leukemia evaluation employs cell surface and cytoplasmic markers to aid in the diagnosis and characterisation of neoplasms of hematopoietic origin. Results are useful in the differential diagnosis, therapeutic monitoring and detection of relapses of these neoplasms.

Method
Flow Cytometry
Step 1

Sample Collection

Clinical history is mandatory. For bone marrow collection, the procedure is performed by a clinician after obtaining informed consent.

Method: Venipuncture or bone marrow aspiration

Step 2

Laboratory Analysis

Collect 3 mL whole blood each in one Lavender Top (EDTA) and one Green Top (Sodium Heparin) tube, or 2 mL bone marrow in one Green Top (Sodium Heparin) tube with an aspirate smear. Mix samples gently.

Step 3

Report Delivery

Ship immediately at 18–22°C. Do not refrigerate or freeze. Send the aspirate smear with the bone marrow sample.

Timeline: Samples are accepted daily by 9 am; the report is delivered the same day.

Patient Instructions

1
Before the Test:No fasting is required. Provide all relevant clinical history, previous CBC reports, and bone marrow findings if available. For bone marrow sampling, follow the clinician's instructions.
2
During the Test:A blood sample is collected from a vein. For bone marrow sampling, a doctor performs the aspiration with local anaesthesia; you may feel pressure or brief pain.
3
After the Test:You can resume normal activities after blood collection. After bone marrow aspiration, keep the site dry and follow the clinician's aftercare instructions.

  • Use Sodium Heparin (Green Top) for bone marrow plus aspirate smear
  • Label samples clearly with patient details
  • Provide mandatory clinical history
  • Transport at room temperature (18–22°C) immediately

Doctor's Notes

Reviewed by — MBBS, MD (Pathology) · Reg. No. 21521

"Flow cytometry immunophenotyping is essential for accurate leukemia subclassification and directly influences targeted therapy selection. Customizing the 10-marker panel based on morphology and clinical suspicion improves diagnostic precision and supports treatment response monitoring."

Understanding Your Results

Flow cytometry immunophenotyping identifies antigen expression patterns on leukemic cells. The results are reported as presence or absence of markers and the percentage of abnormal cells. This pattern helps classify leukemia lineage and maturation stage, monitor residual disease, and detect relapse.
Correlate flow cytometry findings with complete blood count, peripheral blood smear, and bone marrow morphology.
Lineage assignment is based on multiple markers; no single marker is definitive alone.
Abnormal antigen expression patterns may indicate clonal or aberrant populations.
Results should be integrated with cytogenetic and molecular findings for a complete diagnosis.
⚠️ When to Consult a Doctor:

Consult a doctor if you have unexplained fatigue, fever, weight loss, frequent infections, easy bruising or bleeding, swollen lymph nodes, bone pain, or persistent cytopenias.

Limitations

  • Requires viable cells for accurate surface marker detection
  • Cannot replace morphological examination of blood or bone marrow
  • Customized marker selection may miss unexpected immunophenotypic abnormalities
  • Interpretation requires correlation with clinical history and other laboratory findings

Risks & Considerations

  • Blood collection may cause mild pain, bruising, or lightheadedness.
  • Bone marrow aspiration may cause temporary soreness or bleeding at the site; serious complications are rare.

Interfering Factors

  • Prolonged sample transport time
  • Improper storage temperature (refrigeration or freezing)
  • Clotted sample
  • Hemodiluted bone marrow sample
  • Recent chemotherapy or growth factor therapy
