Understanding Your Blood Health: The CD13 Immunophenotyping Test
When you’re concerned about unexplained symptoms or have received abnormal blood test results, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. The CD13 Immunophenotyping by Flow Cytometry test provides the clarity you need through advanced cellular analysis that examines the specific markers on your blood cells. This sophisticated diagnostic approach helps identify potential blood disorders at their earliest stages, giving you the power to take control of your health journey.
What This Test Detects
The CD13 test uses flow cytometry technology to analyze the CD13 antigen present on the surface of blood cells. CD13 is a membrane-bound enzyme that serves as an important marker for identifying and characterizing various blood cell types, particularly in the diagnosis and monitoring of hematological malignancies. The test provides detailed information about:
- Abnormal cell populations in blood or bone marrow
- Specific markers that help classify blood cancers
- Cellular characteristics that guide treatment decisions
- Monitoring of disease progression or treatment response
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- Unexplained fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
- Frequent infections or slow recovery from illnesses
- Unusual bruising or bleeding without obvious cause
- Persistent fever or night sweats
- Unexplained weight loss
- Enlarged lymph nodes, spleen, or liver
- Abnormal blood counts identified in routine testing
- Family history of blood disorders or cancers
