What is a CD61 (Megakaryocytic Cell Marker) Test in Patna ?

What is CD61 (Megakaryocytic Cell Marker)?

The CD61 test detects a protein called CD61 that sits on platelets and megakaryocytes. These cells make and carry platelets, which help blood clot. Physical examination provides clues; a test result removes ambiguity and allows targeted, evidence-based management to begin promptly.

What does Megakaryocytic Cell Marker measure?

Measuring CD61 helps identify cells of the platelet lineage in bone marrow or tissue samples. Doctors use it to find abnormal platelet production, to classify certain blood cancers, and to check for megakaryocytic involvement in marrow diseases. It helps diagnose conditions like thrombocytopenia, acute megakaryoblastic leukemia, and myeloproliferative disorders. Results guide treatment choices and help monitor response to therapy.

What symptoms suggest Megakaryocytic Cell Marker may be needed?

A doctor may recommend Megakaryocytic Cell 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 Patna is available at labs and at home across Rajiv Nagar, Bahadurpur, and surrounding neighbourhoods.

How is Megakaryocytic Cell Marker 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 Rajiv Nagar or Bahadurpur, Patna, after which the sample is dispatched to the NABL-accredited lab for processing.

How accurate is Megakaryocytic Cell Marker?

Samples collected in Rajiv Nagar or Bahadurpur, Patna 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 Megakaryocytic Cell Marker?

Risk is minimal. Swab, sputum, or fluid collection by a trained professional in Rajiv Nagar or Bahadurpur, Patna 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?

CD61 is the designation for integrin β3, a cell-surface marker mainly expressed on platelets and megakaryocytes.

CD61 (Megakaryocytic Cell Marker) Test Preparation in Patna

Diet and fasting:

Fasting is not necessary for this test. Drinking water freely beforehand actually makes sample collection easier.

Medication guidance:

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

What to carry:

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

When to book:

CD61 (Megakaryocytic Cell Marker) Test Parameters in Patna

Single standalone test:

CD61 (Megakaryocytic Cell Marker). Can be ordered individually or as part of a preventive health package on GetVisit.

Why Take a CD61 (Megakaryocytic Cell Marker) Test in Patna ?

When does a doctor order CD61 (Megakaryocytic Cell Marker)?

CD61 (Megakaryocytic Cell Marker) is often included in immunohistochemistry or flow cytometry panels for bone marrow and blood evaluation. Doctors may order it for unexplained low platelets, easy bruising, bleeding, or abnormal blood counts.

Who should get Megakaryocytic Cell Marker done in Patna?

Patna's Ganga floodplain geography and monsoon waterborne-infection burden, widespread iron and vitamin deficiency, rising diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and hot summers make regular preventive diagnostic testing especially valuable for residents across the city. Those who benefit most from CD61 (Megakaryocytic Cell Marker) include patients with recurrent or treatment-resistant infections, suspicious lesions, or symptoms that routine blood tests have not explained. A precise sample-based diagnosis in Patna allows treatment to be matched exactly to the cause.

What conditions can Megakaryocytic Cell Marker help diagnose?

It helps diagnose or monitor platelet production problems, megakaryocytic leukemias, and myeloproliferative disorders. Abnormal results can come from marrow diseases, cancers, infections, or medication effects. A family history of platelet disorders may make this test more relevant.

What do Megakaryocytic Cell 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 Megakaryocytic Cell 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 Megakaryocytic Cell Marker 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 CD61 a marker for?plus

CD61 is the designation for integrin β3, a cell-surface marker mainly expressed on platelets and megakaryocytes. It forms part of the GPIIb/IIIa (αIIbβ3) complex involved in platelet adhesion and aggregation. CD61 is also detected on some endothelial cells and in megakaryocytic-lineage leukemias, so it’s used diagnostically to identify platelet/megakaryocyte differentiation.

What is the CD marker for megakaryocytes?plus

Megakaryocytes characteristically express CD41 (integrin αIIb), CD61 (integrin β3) and CD42 (glycoprotein Ib complex). CD41/CD61 form the αIIbβ3 integrin commonly used to identify megakaryocytic lineage and platelets, while CD42 is associated with more mature megakaryocytes. These markers are routinely applied in flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry to study megakaryocyte development.

What is another name for CD61?plus

CD61 is another name for integrin beta-3 (ITGB3), also called platelet glycoprotein IIIa (GPIIIa). It pairs with integrin alpha-IIb (CD41/GPIIb) to form the platelet fibrinogen receptor complex (GPIIb/IIIa), which mediates platelet aggregation and adhesion. Mutations or antibodies to CD61 can affect clotting and contribute to thrombotic or bleeding disorders.

What is CD41 CD61?plus

CD41 and CD61 are surface proteins that pair to form the integrin αIIbβ3 receptor on platelets and megakaryocytes. This receptor binds fibrinogen and von Willebrand factor to enable platelet aggregation and clot formation. Flow cytometry measures CD41/CD61 to assess platelet count and function; inherited absence or dysfunction causes bleeding disorders such as Glanzmann thrombasthenia and can inform thrombotic risk.

Can menstruation affect CD61 (Megakaryocytic Cell Marker) 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 CD61 (Megakaryocytic Cell Marker).

Can I take my diabetes medication before CD61 (Megakaryocytic Cell Marker)?plus

If you take insulin or diabetes tablets and are fasting for CD61 (Megakaryocytic Cell Marker), ask your doctor whether to delay the dose until after the sample is collected, to avoid a low-sugar episode.
