Test Overview & Methodology
The CD79a immunohistochemistry test is a high‑precision tissue‑based assay that detects CD79a protein expression, serving as a definitive marker for B‑cell lineage in lymphomas and leukemias. The assay utilises automated IHC staining on formalin‑fixed paraffin‑embedded (FFPE) tissue blocks with validated DAB detection, ensuring consistent and reproducible results.
| Feature | Our CD79a Test (DHA‑Compliant) | Standard Pathology Referral |
|---|---|---|
| Methodology | Automated IHC on FFPE blocks with validated DAB detection | Manual or non‑automated IHC with potential variability |
| Turnaround Time | 5–7 working days (archival tissue based) | 7–14 days, often with offline reporting |
| Diagnostic Precision | ISO 9001:2015 validated, 99.9% sensitivity | Variable inter‑laboratory concordance |
| Integration | Compatible with DHA tele‑reporting and insurance portals | Manual billing, uncertain insurance linkage |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor (Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, DHA Registration ID: 61713011) shares: “Immunohistochemistry for CD79a is a cornerstone in B‑cell lymphoma classification, but no single stain dictates therapy—always correlate with morphology, CD20, PAX5, and clinical presentation. My team validates every stain meticulously; however, I urge every patient to never interpret this result in isolation. If you have concerns, a tele‑consultation is available to guide you through the clinical picture.”
Medication Advisory
⚠️ Do Not Discontinue Prescribed Medication Without Consulting Your Doctor
Always follow your physician’s instructions regarding ongoing treatments. This diagnostic test does not replace your current medical regimen.
Patient Safety & Exclusion Criteria
- Exclusion: Non‑diagnostic tissue samples (insufficient tumour representation, necrotic material) cannot guarantee reliable staining. Patients with known bleeding disorders should consult the clinician before biopsy collection.
- Emergency Red Flags – Seek immediate care if you experience: Severe pain, persistent bleeding, or signs of infection (fever >38°C, purulent discharge) at the biopsy site; sudden enlargement of a mass or new organ dysfunction. This test is elective and not intended for acute crisis.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the CD79a test used for?
The CD79a immunohistochemistry test is primarily used to identify B‑cell lineage in suspected lymphomas, guiding oncologists and pathologists in classifying entities like diffuse large B‑cell lymphoma and B‑cell acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.
2. How is the test performed and what sample is needed?
A representative tumour tissue specimen, either as a formalin‑fixed paraffin‑embedded block or 10% formalin‑preserved biopsy, is required; our laboratory then performs automated IHC staining for CD79a using validated protocols.
3. How long does it take to get results and what is the cost?
Results are typically available within 5–7 working days depending on tissue complexity, and the cost is 550 AED inclusive of DHA‑licensed pathological interpretation and tele‑consultation.
