What is a CD45 / LCA (Leukocyte Common Antigen) Test in Bengaluru ?

What is CD45 / LCA (Leukocyte Common Antigen)?

This test measures the CD45 protein, also called leukocyte common antigen, which sits on most white blood cells. CD45 helps identify cells that come from the immune system. Physical examination provides clues; a test result removes ambiguity and allows targeted, evidence-based management to begin promptly.

What does CD45 / LCA (Leukocyte Common Antigen) measure?

It is important because it separates immune cells from non-immune tissue under the microscope. Doctors use CD45 staining to detect and classify lymphomas and leukemias. It also helps tell whether a tumour is made of immune cells or has spread from another organ. The test can be done on biopsy tissue or blood by pathologists and lab teams.

What symptoms suggest CD45 / LCA (Leukocyte Common Antigen) may be needed?

A doctor may recommend CD45 / LCA (Leukocyte Common Antigen) when a patient reports unexplained weight loss, persistent fatigue, a lump under the skin, changes in bowel or bladder habits, unexplained pain, abnormal bleeding, persistent cough, or difficulty swallowing. In Bengaluru, you can book this test online with home collection available in Koramangala, Bannerghatta Road, and beyond.

How is CD45 / LCA (Leukocyte Common Antigen) performed?

This test is performed on a swab or fluid sample collected by a trained healthcare professional, not on a routine blood draw. Collection is quick and done at a GetVisit-partnered lab or collection point in Koramangala or Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru, after which the sample is dispatched to the NABL-accredited lab for processing.

How accurate is CD45 / LCA (Leukocyte Common Antigen)?

Samples collected in Koramangala or Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru are processed at NABL-accredited labs using validated methods and internal quality control. Accuracy depends on correct collection technique by a trained professional, which GetVisit's partnered centres follow. Reports are accepted by hospitals, specialists, and insurers across India.

Are there any risks to CD45 / LCA (Leukocyte Common Antigen)?

Risk is minimal. Swab, sputum, or fluid collection by a trained professional in Koramangala or Bannerghatta Road, Bengaluru may cause brief, mild discomfort but no lasting effects. Any specific precaution for your test will be explained at the collection centre.

Did you know?

CD45 (leukocyte common antigen) is a transmembrane protein tyrosine phosphatase expressed on all nucleated hematopoietic cells.

CD45 / LCA (Leukocyte Common Antigen) Test Preparation in Bengaluru

Managing medication:

Continue your regular medicines unless your doctor has told you otherwise.

Fasting instructions:

You do not need to fast. Have your normal meals, but skip a heavy, oily meal and alcohol the evening before as a general precaution.

Timing:

Morning appointments suit most tests, when the body's markers are most stable. GetVisit home collection in Bengaluru starts at 6:00 AM, including Rajajinagar and Koramangala.

What to bring along:

Bring your doctor's prescription, a valid photo ID, and your insurance card if you're using cashless OPD. Loose sleeves make collection easier.

Single standalone test:

CD45 / LCA (Leukocyte Common Antigen). Can be ordered individually or as part of a preventive health package on GetVisit.

Why Take a CD45 / LCA (Leukocyte Common Antigen) Test in Bengaluru ?

When does a doctor order CD45 / LCA (Leukocyte Common Antigen)?

CD45 / LCA (Leukocyte Common Antigen) is often included in immunohistochemistry and flow cytometry panels for suspected blood or lymphoid disease. Doctors may order it when there are swollen lymph nodes, unexplained masses, abnormal blood counts, or suspected lymphoma or leukemia.

Who should get CD45 / LCA (Leukocyte Common Antigen) done in Bengaluru?

Bengaluru's 12 million metropolitan population, year-round dengue risk, rising NAFLD and diabetes burden among its massive IT workforce, and rapidly growing outer areas with variable water quality make regular preventive diagnostic testing an important part of health management for residents across every neighbourhood. Those who benefit most from CD45 / LCA (Leukocyte Common Antigen) include higher-risk individuals in structured screening and patients already diagnosed who need trend monitoring. Results in Bengaluru should always be interpreted by an oncologist rather than in isolation.

What conditions can CD45 / LCA (Leukocyte Common Antigen) help diagnose?

It helps diagnose and monitor these cancers and distinguish them from metastatic tumours or inflammatory reactions. Abnormal results may come from cancers, infections, or immune disorders, and family history of blood cancers can make testing more important.

What do CD45 / LCA (Leukocyte Common Antigen) results mean?

Higher or positive results: A CD45‑positive result means the cells express CD45 (the leukocyte common antigen), indicating they are of hematopoietic/white‑blood‑cell origin. Your doctor reads the value against the reference range on your report and your symptoms, and may repeat a borderline result to confirm it.

How often should CD45 / LCA (Leukocyte Common Antigen) be repeated?

For screening in higher-risk individuals: at the interval recommended for that specific cancer. For patients under treatment or in remission: on the schedule set by the oncologist, often every few months, to track the marker's trend rather than any single value.

What happens after CD45 / LCA (Leukocyte Common Antigen) results are ready?

Reports arrive digitally and remain in your GetVisit history, so repeat tests can be tracked over months and years. Review anything unexpected with your doctor before changing medication or lifestyle, and use the app to book a follow-up if needed.

What is CD45 leukocyte common antigen?plus

CD45 (leukocyte common antigen) is a transmembrane protein tyrosine phosphatase expressed on all nucleated hematopoietic cells. Encoded by PTPRC, it regulates antigen‑receptor signaling in T and B cells by modulating Src family kinases, influencing activation and development. Multiple isoforms (e.g. CD45RA, RO) arise from alternative splicing and serve as differentiation markers in flow cytometry and immunophenotyping.

Is LCA the same as CD45?plus

Yes. LCA (leukocyte common antigen) is the same as CD45 , a family of transmembrane protein tyrosine phosphatase isoforms expressed on nearly all nucleated hematopoietic (leukocyte) cells. CD45/LCA regulates antigen‑receptor signaling, exists in multiple isoforms, and is widely used as a pan‑leukocyte immunohistochemical marker to identify and classify hematologic cells and lymphoid malignancies.

Is CD45 a marker for lymphoma?plus

CD45 (leukocyte common antigen) is a pan‑leukocyte marker used to identify hematopoietic/lymphoid cells and aids lymphoma diagnosis. Most B‑ and T‑cell lymphomas express CD45, but expression may be reduced or absent in certain entities (for example classical Hodgkin lymphoma Reed–Sternberg cells and some plasma‑cell variants). Flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry use CD45 alongside other markers for accurate classification.

What does it mean when a CD45 marker is positive?plus

A CD45‑positive result means the cells express CD45 (the leukocyte common antigen), indicating they are of hematopoietic/white‑blood‑cell origin. It’s used in flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry to identify and classify leukocytes and to help distinguish lymphoid or myeloid malignancies from non‑hematopoietic tumors. Most leukocytes are CD45+, while mature red cells and platelets lack CD45.

Can menstruation affect CD45 / LCA (Leukocyte Common Antigen) results?plus

Some tests, such as iron studies and certain hormone panels, can be influenced by your menstrual cycle. If you are on your period, mention it so your doctor can judge whether timing matters for CD45 / LCA (Leukocyte Common Antigen).

Can I drink coffee or tea before CD45 / LCA (Leukocyte Common Antigen)?plus

If CD45 / LCA (Leukocyte Common Antigen) needs fasting, avoid tea and coffee (even without sugar) during the fasting window, as they can affect some results; plain water is fine. If no fasting is required, your usual drinks are okay.
