What is a CD38 (Plasma Cell / Prognostic CLL Marker) Test in Bangalore ?

The CD38 test measures the amount of CD38 protein on the surface of certain white blood cells. CD38 is found on plasma cells and some B lymphocytes. It helps control cell signals and immune activity. Knowing CD38 levels can help identify abnormal cell types and show how aggressive a disease may be. The test is useful for diagnosing and monitoring blood cancers such as chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and plasma cell disorders. Doctors usually run it with other markers using flow cytometry or tissue staining. Results help guide diagnosis, predict prognosis, choose targeted treatments, and check how well therapy is working.

No special preparation is required.

CD38 (Plasma Cell / Prognostic CLL Marker) Test Parameters in Bangalore

The CD38 (Plasma Cell / Prognostic CLL Marker) test evaluates various parameters related to the different components. Here are the main parameters that are checked in the test:

  • Single test

Why Take a CD38 (Plasma Cell / Prognostic CLL Marker) Test in Bangalore ?

CD38 (Plasma Cell / Prognostic CLL Marker) is often ordered as part of an immunophenotyping or flow cytometry panel when clinicians suspect a blood cancer. Doctors may request it if a patient has swollen lymph nodes, unexplained fatigue, frequent infections, or abnormal blood counts. The test helps diagnose and monitor chronic lymphocytic leukemia and plasma cell disorders. Abnormal results most commonly reflect disease activity or effects of treatment. A family history of blood cancers may make testing more likely.

What is the CD38 marker in CLL in Bangalore?plus

CD38 is a surface glycoprotein measured on chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) cells by flow cytometry. Its expression level serves as a prognostic marker: higher CD38 expression is associated with more aggressive disease, faster progression, and shorter time to treatment. CD38 status, alongside factors like IGHV mutation and cytogenetics, helps clinicians estimate prognosis and guide monitoring and therapy choices.

What is the most important prognostic factor in CLL in Bangalore?plus

The most important prognostic factor in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is TP53 disruption — del(17p) or TP53 mutation. These changes predict more aggressive disease, poor response to standard chemoimmunotherapy and shorter survival, often prompting targeted therapies. Other useful prognostic markers include IGHV mutation status, cytogenetics, lymphocyte-doubling time and clinical stage, but TP53 disruption has the greatest impact.

What is the CD38 marker for in Bangalore?plus

CD38 is a surface glycoprotein and ectoenzyme expressed on plasma cells, activated T and B cells, NK cells and others. It regulates NAD+ metabolism and calcium signaling, influencing cell activation, adhesion and differentiation. Clinically it is used as a diagnostic/prognostic marker (e.g., multiple myeloma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia) and as a therapeutic target for monoclonal antibodies in plasma-cell malignancies.

What are CD38 positive plasma cells in Bangalore?plus

CD38-positive plasma cells are mature antibody-secreting B cells that express the surface glycoprotein CD38. They live in bone marrow and tissues, produce immunoglobulins, and support humoral immunity. High CD38 expression helps identify plasma cells in diagnostics and is seen in conditions like multiple myeloma; CD38 also has enzymatic and signaling roles and serves as a therapeutic target.

How is CLL prognosis typically determined in Bangalore?plus

CLL prognosis is determined by clinical staging (Rai or Binet), symptoms and performance status, blood counts and lymphocyte doubling time, laboratory markers such as beta‑2 microglobulin, and detailed genetic/cytogenetic testing (FISH and mutation analysis including del(17p), TP53, del(11q) and IGHV mutation status). Age, comorbidities and treatment response also strongly influence outcomes and management.

What is the difference between CD38 and CD138 plasma cells in Bangalore?plus

CD38 and CD138 are surface markers on plasma cells with different roles. CD38 is a multifunctional ectoenzyme broadly expressed on activated lymphocytes and highly on plasma cells; it’s a therapeutic target in myeloma. CD138 (syndecan‑1) is a heparan sulfate proteoglycan more specific to mature, bone‑marrow plasma cells, mediating adhesion and survival and commonly used to identify terminally differentiated plasma cells in diagnostics.
