What is a CD55 (PNH Marker) Test in Jamshedpur ?
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?
CD55 (PNH Marker) is ordered when your doctor needs objective laboratory data, either to follow up a symptom, check a previous result, or complete a routine assessment. Your doctor will advise whether it is the right test for your situation. If you have these symptoms, You can book online for Jamshedpur, and check home-collection availability for Karandih, Bhuiyandih or your own address during booking.
How is CD55 (PNH Marker) performed?
You provide a urine sample rather than blood. Follow the container instructions for a clean mid-stream catch, avoid contamination from soap or toilet water, and submit it within two hours of collection at a lab in Karandih or via home pickup in Bhuiyandih, Jamshedpur. GetVisit handles labelling and NABL lab dispatch.
How accurate is CD55 (PNH Marker)?
Urine results are reliable when the sample is collected cleanly and transported quickly. GetVisit's Jamshedpur network handles prompt, temperature-appropriate transport from Karandih or Bhuiyandih to the NABL lab, and quality control is independently audited by NABL.
Are there any risks to CD55 (PNH Marker)?

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 Karandih or Bhuiyandih, Jamshedpur is just as safe as visiting a lab.

When does a doctor order CD55 (PNH Marker)?

Residents of Karandih, Bhuiyandih, 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 your 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.
