Leukaemia/Lymphoma Profile

LABOKLIN Service ID: 2380

Material

from blood/puncture: lymph node aspirate (in NaCl/serum mixture, should be sent in a 50:50 mixture ratio), peripheral blood (EDTA blood or heparin blood 2 ml) and blood smear

from bone marrow: bone marrow, bone marrow smears or bone marrow puncture and peripheral blood (EDTA blood or heparin blood 2 ml) and blood smear

for the maximum age of the sample, taking into account country-specific testing conditions, see submission form

Parameter

Complete blood count (if peripheral blood is supplied), cytology/cytological blood smear, leukaemia immunophenotyping (by flow cytometry; lymphoid cells), progenitor cells (depending on species), sample < 48h old, clonality (by PARR)

Duration

2 - 5 days

Remark

  • It is recommended to send in more blood, if possible, as immunophenotyping requires up to 5 ml of sample volume if the total leukocyte count is low.
  • For a complete evaluation in case of suspected leukaemia, the leukaemia profile is always recommended and should be interpreted in correlation with the clinical picture and the history.
