In plain language

What this test helps you understand

This test helps evaluate immune system activation and can be used in the diagnostic workup for certain cancers and immune disorders.
The Immunophenotyping by Flow Cytometry CD25 Test is a diagnostic tool used to evaluate immune system disorders and assist in diagnosing certain cancers. It uses flow cytometry to analyze the expression of CD25, a marker found on activated T-cells, providing insights into the patient's immune response. This test measures the levels of CD25 on T-cells, which can indicate immune system activation. Elevated levels might suggest an ongoing immune response, often seen in autoimmune diseases or certain cancers. This test is valuable for patients experiencing symptoms of immune dysfunction or those with a history of cancer or blood disorders. It offers accurate immune function assessment and can guide treatment decisions for healthcare providers. Results indicate the percentage of CD25-positive T-cells, which should be interpreted by a healthcare professional in the context of your clinical history.

Questions people ask

Frequently asked questions

This test measures the expression levels of CD25 on the surface of T-cells, which can indicate the activation status of the immune system.
Your doctor may order this test if you have symptoms suggesting an immune system disorder, persistent infections, or if they are investigating certain types of cancer or blood disorders.
The sample is typically collected as a blood draw or bone marrow aspirate, placed in specific tubes (Lavender Top/EDTA and Green Top/Sodium Heparin).
You may be asked to provide a brief clinical history. Follow any specific instructions given by your doctor or the laboratory regarding fasting or medication adjustments.
The results show the percentage of CD25-positive T-cells. Your doctor will interpret these results based on your overall health and clinical picture.
