CD38 Blood Test Overview
The CD38 test is an immunophenotyping blood test used to measure the expression of CD38 markers on specific blood cells, particularly plasma cells and lymphocytes. CD38 plays a role in immune regulation and cell signalling, and abnormal expression levels are clinically relevant in certain haematological and immune-related conditions.
This test is commonly advised for patients in Pune, Maharashtra during the evaluation or monitoring of plasma cell disorders, chronic lymphocytic leukaemia, and other immune system abnormalities. The sample is collected through a routine blood draw and can be booked via the Home Collection Facility or completed at the Direct Walk-in Facility of healthcare nt sickcare. Any preparation instructions can be reviewed in advance through the test preparation guides.
