What is a CD55 (PNH Marker) Test in Kota ?
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. GetVisit makes testing convenient in Kota, with partner-lab slots and home collection offered in many areas including DCM Road and Jawahar Nagar.
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 DCM Road or via home pickup in Jawahar Nagar, Kota. 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 Kota network handles prompt, temperature-appropriate transport from DCM Road or Jawahar Nagar 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 DCM Road or Jawahar Nagar, Kota 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 Kota
Your medicines:
Continue your regular medicines unless your doctor has told you otherwise.
Before you come:

Booking your slot:

Why Take a CD55 (PNH Marker) Test in Kota ?
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 Kota?
Kota's very large coaching-student population with prolonged sedentary routines, extreme summer heat, industrial belt along the Chambal, and ghee-rich Rajasthani diet make regular preventive diagnostic testing worthwhile citywide. Those who benefit most from regular CD55 (PNH Marker) testing include adults above 40, people with sedentary lifestyles or BMI above 25, those managing chronic conditions, smokers, and anyone whose previous result was borderline. Early detection through regular testing in Kota is consistently more cost-effective than treating advanced disease.
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?
Results are interpreted in context, not in isolation. GetVisit shows your measured value next to the laboratory reference range, and your doctor reads it together with your clinical picture and any earlier results. See the FAQs below for what typical high or low values can mean for this test.
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?
Once your results appear in your GetVisit profile, discuss them with your doctor or a GetVisit-verified specialist. Your doctor will interpret each value in the context of your full health history, current medications, and symptoms, and advise on the next step: lifestyle change, repeat testing, medication adjustment, or specialist referral. All GetVisit reports are stored permanently and can be shared with any doctor instantly.
