Immunophenotyping by Flow Cytometry (CD103) Test in UAE | 550 AED
Executive Summary & Core Metrics
Executive Summary: Advanced diagnostic test for identifying hairy cell leukemia and related lymphomas using multicolor flow cytometry. Hospital extraction only – sample collection is conducted strictly within an accredited hospital facility; mobile home phlebotomy is disabled for safety. Includes telephonic consultation with a specialist after results. Fully compliant with DHA regulations (Facility License: 1143) and UAE data protection laws.
Test Overview & Methodology
This advanced panel quantifies CD103 and other lymphocyte markers to confirm hairy cell leukemia, enteropathy‑associated T‑cell lymphoma, and diffuse large B‑cell lymphoma phenotypes. The test uses multicolor laser-based flow cytometry to detect CD103 expression with high sensitivity and specificity.
| Feature | Our CD103 Flow Cytometry Test | Immunohistochemistry (IHC) Alternative |
|---|---|---|
| Precision | Multiparametric, quantitative % positivity | Semi‑quantitative, observer‑dependent |
| Methodology | Laser‑based fluorescent flow cytometry (LC‑MS/MS validated) | Enzyme‑linked antibody staining |
| Speed | Same‑day report from morning collection | 1–3 working days |
| Sample Types | Whole blood (EDTA & Sodium Heparin) or Bone Marrow | Tissue biopsy required |
| CD103 Detection | Direct, high sensitivity | Possible but limited sensitivity |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor (DHA Registration ID: 61713011): “This test is a cornerstone for confirming hairy cell leukemia and guiding targeted therapy. While highly sensitive, flow cytometry results must be correlated with clinical symptoms and bone marrow morphology to avoid misdiagnosis. Patients should not discontinue any prescribed medication based solely on this report without a thorough consultation.”
Medication Advisory
⚠️ Do not discontinue prescribed medication without consulting your doctor. Interpretation of this test requires integration with all available clinical data.
Exclusion Criteria & ER Red Flags
- Active severe infection or sepsis (fever >38.5°C, hemodynamic instability) – postpone test.
- Recent high‑dose chemotherapy within 2 weeks (may cause transient immunophenotypic shifts).
- Severe thrombocytopenia (<20,000/μL) with active bleeding – risk of hematoma from venipuncture.
- ER Red Flags: Uncontrolled bleeding, sudden vision changes, severe bone pain, or new neurological symptoms—seek emergency care immediately.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the CD103 immunophenotyping test and when is it needed?
This test measures CD103 expression along with other lymphocyte markers to diagnose hairy cell leukemia, enteropathy-associated T-cell lymphoma, and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Clinicians order it when peripheral blood or bone marrow shows abnormal lymphocytes suggestive of a chronic lymphoproliferative disorder.
2. How is the sample collected and what are the special handling requirements?
Sample collection is performed in a hospital setting. 3 mL of whole blood in a lavender top (EDTA) and 3 mL in a green top (Sodium Heparin) are required. Samples must be maintained at 18–22°C and never refrigerated. Transport immediately via temperature-controlled courier to the laboratory.
3. What do my results mean and how will I receive my report?
Positive co-expression of CD103 with other markers indicates hairy cell leukemia; a specialist will call you to interpret the full panel. Reports are delivered same-day via an encrypted portal compliant with UAE PDPL, and a telephonic consultation is included.
