Facing Lymphoma Concerns? Get Clear Answers with CD43 Testing
When you’re worried about lymphoma or blood cancer, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. The Immunohistochemistry CD43 Test provides the diagnostic clarity you need to move forward with confidence. This specialised test helps identify specific markers that guide accurate lymphoma diagnosis and treatment planning.
Understanding Your CD43 Test
The CD43 Immunohistochemistry test is a sophisticated diagnostic tool that detects specific protein markers on cell surfaces. Think of it as a molecular fingerprint that helps pathologists distinguish between different types of blood cancers and determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
When your tissue sample arrives at our laboratory, our expert pathologists use advanced staining techniques to visualise CD43 markers. This process provides crucial information about whether abnormal cells are present and helps classify the specific type of lymphoma or leukaemia.
Who Should Consider CD43 Testing?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing symptoms that might indicate lymphoma or if your doctor has identified concerning findings. Common situations include:
- Unexplained swollen lymph nodes that persist for weeks
- Unexplained fever, night sweats, or weight loss
- Abnormal blood test results suggesting blood disorders
- Previous biopsy results requiring further clarification
- Monitoring known lymphoma conditions
If you’re feeling anxious about persistent symptoms, this test can provide the answers you need to move forward with appropriate care.
