Frequently Asked Questions
What is CD45 / LCA tested for?
CD45 is a pan-leukocyte marker used in flow cytometry to identify and gate all white blood cell populations. It helps distinguish hematopoietic cells from non-hematopoietic cells and is essential in diagnosing leukemias and lymphomas.
Is fasting required for this test?
No, fasting is not required for CD45 flow cytometry testing. The sample can be collected at any time during lab hours.
What type of sample is needed?
EDTA whole blood or Heparin whole blood is collected. Bone marrow aspirate (BMA) may also be used depending on the clinical indication.
How is the report turned around?
Verified PDF report is available within 24–48 hours via www.drpatholab.in or WhatsApp/Email.
Can medications affect CD45 results?
Immunosuppressive drugs or recent blood transfusions may alter white blood cell counts and should be disclosed to the doctor before testing.
Why is CD45 important in blood cancer diagnosis?
Aberrant CD45 expression patterns help pathologists identify and classify leukemias and lymphomas, guiding targeted treatment decisions.
