Chronic Leukemia Panel Test
Cost: AED 2700.0
Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Test Details
The Chronic Leukemia Panel Test is a series of tests used to diagnose and monitor chronic leukemias, a group of blood cancers characterized by the overproduction of abnormal white blood cells. The panel includes the following tests:
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): This test measures the number and types of blood cells, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. In chronic leukemias, there is usually an increased number of abnormal white blood cells.
- Peripheral Blood Smear: A blood sample is examined under a microscope to look for abnormal white blood cells and other changes in the blood cells.
- Bone Marrow Biopsy and Aspiration: A sample of bone marrow is taken and examined to determine the type of leukemia and assess the extent of the disease. This test helps in confirming the diagnosis of chronic leukemia.
- Cytogenetic Analysis: This test examines the chromosomes of the leukemia cells to identify any genetic abnormalities that may be present. Certain chromosomal abnormalities are associated with specific types of chronic leukemias.
- Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH): This test is used to detect specific genetic changes or abnormalities in the leukemia cells. It can help in confirming the diagnosis and determining the prognosis.
- Molecular Testing: This involves analyzing the DNA or RNA of the leukemia cells to identify specific genetic mutations or alterations. Molecular testing can help in determining the most appropriate treatment options.
- Flow Cytometry: This test is used to analyze the surface markers on the leukemia cells. It helps in identifying the specific type of leukemia and monitoring the response to treatment.
The Chronic Leukemia Panel Test can be done with a doctor’s prescription. However, it is not applicable for surgery and pregnancy cases or people planning to travel abroad.
