CD138 near me in Amritsar

CD138 is a type of protein that is present inside plasma cells found within bone marrow or inside squamous epithelial cells. Doctors use this for looking for tumours called neoplasms that normally grow within plasma cells. The test itself is also called immunohistochemistry and is useful for finding tumour cells.

They observe CD138 stains on the tissue specimens they take from patients under a microscope. Typically, doctors use this method during surgeries. A positive CD138 means that a person has lymphoma or myeloma. In case of a negative test answer, it means one has carcinoma.

People get 24 hours of turnaround time from this testing. For best results, carrying the CD138 in a cold pack is important. Make sure it does not directly come under sun exposure.
