Find Clarity in Your Leukemia Diagnosis Journey
When abnormal blood results or concerning symptoms appear, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. Our Immunophenotyping by Flow Cytometry Leukemia Diagnostic Panel is designed to provide the definitive answers you need about Acute Myeloid Leukemia (AML). This advanced diagnostic approach gives you and your healthcare team the precise information required to make informed decisions about your treatment path.
Understanding Your AML Characterisation Test
Think of this test as a highly sophisticated cellular identification system. Using flow cytometry technology, we analyse thousands of your blood cells individually, identifying specific markers on their surface. This allows us to precisely characterise whether abnormal cells are present and determine if they indicate Acute Myeloid Leukemia. The process is like having a microscopic detective that can identify exactly what type of cells are in your blood sample, providing crucial information that guides your treatment strategy.
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
- Unexplained bruising or bleeding
- Persistent fever or night sweats
- Bone pain or tenderness
- Abnormal blood test results suggesting leukemia
- Family history of blood cancers
If your doctor has mentioned concerns about your blood cell counts or you’re undergoing evaluation for possible leukemia, this test provides the definitive characterisation needed.
