Immunophenotyping by Flow Cytometry CD34 Stem Cell Enumeration Test
Introduction
The Immunophenotyping by Flow Cytometry CD34 Stem Cell Enumeration Test is a pivotal diagnostic tool in the fields of oncology and hematology. This test is essential for assessing the presence and quantity of CD34+ stem cells, which play a crucial role in bone marrow function and are vital for hematopoietic reconstitution, particularly in patients undergoing chemotherapy or stem cell transplantation.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically measures the number of CD34+ stem cells in a given blood or bone marrow sample. The enumeration of these cells provides valuable insights into a patient’s hematologic status and helps guide treatment decisions.
Who Should Consider This Test
Individuals who should consider the Immunophenotyping by Flow Cytometry CD34 Stem Cell Enumeration Test include:
- Patients diagnosed with cancer who are undergoing chemotherapy.
- Individuals preparing for or recovering from stem cell transplantation.
- Patients with hematologic disorders requiring evaluation of bone marrow function.
Benefits of Taking the Test
Taking this test offers numerous benefits, including:
- Accurate assessment of stem cell populations.
- Guidance for treatment plans in oncology and hematology.
- Rapid turnaround time, with same-day reporting for timely decision-making.
Understanding Your Results
Results from the Immunophenotyping by Flow Cytometry CD34 Stem Cell Enumeration Test will indicate the number of CD34+ stem cells present. A higher or lower than normal count may suggest specific clinical implications that your healthcare provider will discuss with you.
