What is a CD55 (PNH Marker) Test in Indore ?
What is CD55 (PNH Marker)?
The CD55 (PNH Marker) test measures the amount of CD55 protein on red blood cells. CD55 helps protect blood cells from the body's complement system, which can destroy cells if unchecked. Physical examination provides clues; a test result removes ambiguity and allows targeted, evidence-based management to begin promptly.
What does CD55 (PNH Marker) measure?
Low or absent CD55 is a hallmark of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). Detecting reduced CD55 helps explain unexplained anemia, dark urine, and unusual blood clots. Doctors use this test with other markers, like CD59, usually by flow cytometry. It helps confirm a PNH diagnosis, estimate the size of the affected cell population, and monitor response to treatments that block complement activity.
What symptoms suggest CD55 (PNH Marker) may be needed?
A doctor may recommend CD55 (PNH Marker) when a patient reports any symptom your doctor has identified as requiring objective laboratory investigation , including unexplained fatigue, unexplained weight change, persistent pain, fever, or abnormal bleeding. Sample collection for Indore is available at labs and at home across Rajwada, Khajrana, and surrounding neighbourhoods.
How is CD55 (PNH Marker) performed?
No needle is involved. For home service in Rajwada or Khajrana, Indore, GetVisit delivers a sterile container, you provide a clean mid-stream urine sample, and a certified agent collects and transports it to the NABL lab under proper conditions. Your report appears in the GetVisit app when results are authorised.
How accurate is CD55 (PNH Marker)?
Urine results are reliable when the sample is collected cleanly and transported quickly. GetVisit's Indore network handles prompt, temperature-appropriate transport from Rajwada or Khajrana to the NABL lab, and quality control is independently audited by NABL.
Are there any risks to CD55 (PNH Marker)?
There is no medical risk. Providing a urine sample is completely non-invasive, with no needle and no discomfort. The only thing to get right is a clean collection: follow the container instructions to avoid contamination that could affect the result. Home collection in Rajwada or Khajrana, Indore is just as safe as visiting a lab.
Did you know?
CD59 is a GPI‑anchored complement regulatory protein on blood cell membranes that prevents formation of the membrane attack complex (C5b–C9).
CD55 (PNH Marker) Test Preparation in Indore
Fasting and diet:
Collect a clean-catch mid-stream sample in the container provided, ideally the first urine of the morning, and hand it in promptly for the most reliable result.
What to bring:
Bring your doctor's prescription, a valid photo ID, and your insurance card if you're using cashless OPD. Loose sleeves make collection easier.
Medication:

Why Take a CD55 (PNH Marker) Test in Indore ?
When does a doctor order CD55 (PNH Marker)?
CD55 (PNH Marker) is usually ordered as part of a hemolysis or PNH flow cytometry panel that also checks CD59 and other markers. Doctors may request it for unexplained anemia, dark or cola-colored urine, or unusual blood clots.
Who should get CD55 (PNH Marker) done in Indore?
Indore's growing population, celebrated street-food culture driving diabetes and heart disease, hot dry summers with dehydration and kidney-stone risk, and seasonal monsoon infections make regular preventive diagnostic testing worthwhile for residents across the city. Adults above 30 in Indore benefit from periodic health screening that includes CD55 (PNH Marker) as part of a broader preventive panel. Residents of Saket Nagar, Old Palasia, and across the city with chronic conditions, those on long-term medication, and individuals with a relevant family history should test at the frequency their specialist recommends.
What conditions can CD55 (PNH Marker) help diagnose?
It helps diagnose and monitor paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria and related bone marrow disorders. Abnormal results come from loss of GPI-anchored proteins on blood cells due to acquired mutations and from disease activity; certain blood disorders or treatments can affect results. A family history of unexplained hemolysis or blood disorders may prompt testing.
What do CD55 (PNH Marker) results mean?
Your result is read against the reference range printed on your GetVisit report for your age and sex, and always alongside your symptoms and history. A single value slightly outside the range does not by itself confirm a problem, your doctor decides whether it is significant. The specific high and low patterns for this test are explained in the FAQs below.
How often should CD55 (PNH Marker) be repeated?
For preventive screening with a normal baseline: annually for most adults above 35. For monitoring a known condition: at the interval your specialist recommends , typically every 3 to 6 months for active conditions and annually for stable, well-controlled ones.
What happens after CD55 (PNH Marker) results are ready?
Book a follow-up consultation after reviewing your results. GetVisit stores your reports alongside your previous test history, so your doctor sees your full health trend, not just today's snapshot. This longitudinal context significantly improves the clinical value of each repeat test.
