Test Overview & Methodology
The CD57 Immunohistochemistry Test detects CD57 protein expression in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue to assist in the diagnosis and subtyping of lymphomas, leukemias, and immune-mediated disorders. Our high-precision IHC on FFPE blocks delivers a definitive report within 5–7 working days, enabling timely clinical decisions.
| Feature | Our CD57 IHC Test | Standard External Lab IHC |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic Precision | ISO 15189-guided, monoclonal CD57 antibodies with automated staining | Manual or less sensitive polyclonal staining may miss low-level expression |
| Turnaround Time | 5 days (block) / 7 days (complex excision) | 8–12 working days typical |
| Logistics & Pre-analytics | Dedicated cold chain transport; histopathology report linkage mandatory | Transport often ambient; pre-analytical errors due to missing clinical data |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
“As your UAE-licensed Specialist Diagnostic Radiology (DHA 61713011), I emphasise that CD57 IHC must be interpreted in conjunction with the full histopathology, flow cytometry, and clinical picture. This test is a powerful adjunct, not a standalone diagnosis. I urge every patient to discuss all results with their treating oncologist for a personalised care plan.”
— Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor, Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, DHA Registration ID: 61713011
Important Medication Advisory
Never stop or modify any prescribed medication without first consulting your physician. Recent corticosteroid administration can alter immunohistochemical staining patterns; always provide your complete medication history to both the referring doctor and the pathology team.
Exclusion Criteria & Safety Red Flags
- Active uncontrolled bleeding or infection at the proposed biopsy site.
- Known bleeding diathesis (e.g., haemophilia, severe thrombocytopenia) unless cleared by your specialist.
- If you develop fever, severe pain, or rapidly expanding haematoma after tissue sampling, seek emergency medical attention immediately.
- Formalin-hypersensitivity (rare): inform the logistics team if known.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What does a positive CD57 IHC result indicate?
A positive CD57 immunohistochemistry result signifies the presence of natural killer (NK) cells or a subset of T-lymphocytes within the tissue sample. In oncology, this often correlates with large granular lymphocytic leukaemia, certain T-cell lymphomas, or bone marrow involvement. Your pathologist will integrate staining intensity, percentage, and morphological context with the original histopathology report to formulate a precise diagnosis. Always review the final integrated report with your oncologist, as a positive CD57 alone does not define malignancy without clinical correlation.
2. How should I prepare and submit my tissue sample?
Submit your tumour tissue in 10% neutral-buffered formalin solution or as a formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded block at room temperature. You must include a copy of the original histopathology report, the exact biopsy site, and your complete clinical history. Our logistics team will collect the specimen from your hospital or clinic within the UAE using a secure medical courier service designed for solid tissue specimens, ensuring chain-of-custody and sample integrity. Contact us on WhatsApp to schedule a pickup: +971 54 548 8731.
3. What is the turnaround time and can I use my insurance?
Reports are delivered within 5 working days for routine FFPE blocks and up to 7 working days for complex large-tissue resections. We accept all major UAE insurers and offer direct billing verification via WhatsApp; simply send your insurance card photo to +971 54 548 8731. Our DHA facility licence (1143) and ISO 15189-aligned quality system guarantee authoritative, insurer-recognised reports that meet DHA and MOHAP standards.
4. Can CD57 IHC be performed on a blood sample instead of tissue?
No. CD57 immunohistochemistry is specifically validated on formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections. For evaluation of CD57-positive cells in peripheral blood, a separate flow cytometry test is required. Please consult your referring physician to determine the most appropriate test for your clinical scenario.
