Who should get CLPD done in Bengaluru?

Bengaluru's 12 million metropolitan population, year-round dengue risk, rising NAFLD and diabetes burden among its massive IT workforce, and rapidly growing outer areas with variable water quality make regular preventive diagnostic testing an important part of health management for residents across every neighbourhood. Adults above 30 in Bengaluru benefit from periodic health screening that includes CLPD as part of a broader preventive panel. Residents of Indiranagar, HSR Layout, 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 CLPD help diagnose?

It helps diagnose and monitor conditions such as chronic lymphocytic disorders and related blood cancers. Abnormal results can come from infections, autoimmune problems, medications, or cancers. A family history of blood cancers or immune disorders may make testing more important.
