Understanding Your Platelet Health: CD61 Immunophenotyping Test
When you’re experiencing unexplained bruising, bleeding, or fatigue, it’s natural to feel concerned about your health. The CD61 Immunophenotyping test provides the clarity you need to understand what’s happening with your platelets – the tiny blood cells essential for proper clotting and healing. At Oracle Genomics, we understand that waiting for answers can be stressful, which is why we offer same-day results to give you peace of mind quickly.
What Does the CD61 Test Detect?
This sophisticated flow cytometry test specifically examines the CD61 glycoprotein on your platelet surfaces. Think of CD61 as the “identity card” that helps platelets function properly in clotting. When this protein isn’t working correctly, it can lead to bleeding disorders that affect your daily life. Our test provides a detailed analysis that helps your doctor understand exactly what’s happening at the cellular level.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, this test could provide important answers:
- Unexplained bruising or frequent nosebleeds
- Prolonged bleeding from minor cuts
- Heavy menstrual bleeding in women
- Blood in urine or stools
- Family history of bleeding disorders
- Abnormal platelet counts in previous blood tests
- Pre-surgical evaluation for bleeding risk
Many South Africans live with undiagnosed platelet disorders – this test helps identify conditions early, before they cause serious complications.
