What is a Megakaryocytic Marker : CD 61 Test in Gurugram ?

What is Megakaryocytic Marker : CD 61?

This test detects the CD61 protein, a marker found on platelets and megakaryocytes. Megakaryocytes are the bone marrow cells that make platelets. Physical examination provides clues; a test result removes ambiguity and allows targeted, evidence-based management to begin promptly.

What does Megakaryocytic Marker : CD 61 measure?

Platelets are essential for normal blood clotting. Measuring CD61 helps doctors identify and count megakaryocytes in bone marrow samples. It also helps classify types of blood cancers and marrow disorders. The test is often used when blood counts are abnormal, when there is unexplained bleeding or bruising, or when doctors suspect leukemia or myeloproliferative disease.

What symptoms suggest Megakaryocytic Marker : CD 61 may be needed?

A doctor may recommend Megakaryocytic Marker : CD 61 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. In Gurugram, you can book this test online with home collection available in Sector 15, Sushant Lok, and beyond.

How is Megakaryocytic Marker : CD 61 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 Sector 15 or Sushant Lok, Gurugram, after which the sample is dispatched to the NABL-accredited lab for processing.

How accurate is Megakaryocytic Marker : CD 61?

Samples collected in Sector 15 or Sushant Lok, Gurugram 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 Marker : CD 61?

Risk is minimal. Swab, sputum, or fluid collection by a trained professional in Sector 15 or Sushant Lok, Gurugram 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 (integrin β3) is a surface marker primarily expressed on platelets and megakaryocytes, used to identify megakaryocytic lineage in blood and bone marrow.

Megakaryocytic Marker : CD 61 Test Preparation in Gurugram

Fasting and diet:

What to bring:

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

Megakaryocytic Marker : CD 61 Test Parameters in Gurugram

Single standalone test:

Megakaryocytic Marker : CD 61. Can be ordered individually or as part of a preventive health package on GetVisit.

Why Take a Megakaryocytic Marker : CD 61 Test in Gurugram ?

When does a doctor order Megakaryocytic Marker : CD 61?

Megakaryocytic Marker : CD 61 is usually part of bone marrow immunohistochemistry or leukemia panels used to identify platelet-producing cells. Doctors order it when patients have unexplained low or high platelet counts, unusual bleeding, bruising, or abnormal blood counts.

Who should get Megakaryocytic Marker : CD 61 done in Gurugram?

Gurugram's dense corporate population, severe NCR air pollution, high diabetes and cardiovascular burden, extreme seasonal temperatures, and monsoon infection risk make regular preventive diagnostic testing an essential health investment for residents across the city. Those who benefit most from Megakaryocytic Marker : CD 61 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 Gurugram allows treatment to be matched exactly to the cause.

What conditions can Megakaryocytic Marker : CD 61 help diagnose?

It helps diagnose marrow disorders, myeloproliferative neoplasms, and some leukemias. Abnormal results can come from bone marrow disease, autoimmune destruction, infections, or certain medications. A family history of inherited platelet or marrow disorders makes this marker more relevant.

What do Megakaryocytic Marker : CD 61 results mean?

Higher or positive results: Megakaryocytes generally express the leukocyte common antigen CD45, especially at progenitor stages, but expression often diminishes with maturation; very mature megakaryocytes may be CD45-low or negative. Your doctor reads the value against the reference range on your report and your symptoms, and may repeat a borderline result to confirm it.

How often should Megakaryocytic Marker : CD 61 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 Megakaryocytic Marker : CD 61 results are ready?

After the lab authorises your results, the report is uploaded to your GetVisit account and saved for future comparison. If anything falls outside the expected range, your doctor can advise whether it needs a repeat test, a lifestyle change, or a specialist opinion.

What is CD61 a marker for?plus

CD61 (integrin β3) is a surface marker primarily expressed on platelets and megakaryocytes, used to identify megakaryocytic lineage in blood and bone marrow. It participates in platelet aggregation and thrombus formation. CD61 is also detectable in megakaryoblastic leukemias and platelet-rich thrombi, making it useful diagnostically for platelet lineage identification and assessing platelet-related disorders.

What is the CD marker for megakaryocytes?plus

The principal CD markers for megakaryocytes are CD41 (integrin αIIb) and CD61 (integrin β3), which together form the platelet GPIIb/IIIa complex. Mature megakaryocytes and platelets also express CD42b (GPIbα). CD34 marks progenitors but usually declines with maturation. These markers are routinely used in flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry to identify megakaryocytic lineage.

What disease is seen in megakaryocytes?plus

Abnormal megakaryocytes are seen in myeloproliferative neoplasms, especially essential thrombocythemia and primary myelofibrosis, where they show hyperplasia and atypia. Megakaryocytic dysplasia also occurs in myelodysplastic syndromes, and malignant proliferation defines acute megakaryoblastic leukemia. These conditions cause thrombocytosis, marrow fibrosis or cytopenias and need hematology evaluation with blood counts, bone marrow biopsy, and molecular testing.

Are megakaryocytes CD45 positive?plus

Megakaryocytes generally express the leukocyte common antigen CD45, especially at progenitor stages, but expression often diminishes with maturation; very mature megakaryocytes may be CD45-low or negative. Platelets (anucleate fragments) lack CD45. Thus CD45 is variably present on the megakaryocytic lineage and is not a reliable sole marker of mature megakaryocytes.

Can Megakaryocytic Marker : CD 61 be combined with a health package?plus

Yes. Megakaryocytic Marker : CD 61 can be booked on its own or as part of a broader preventive health package on GetVisit, which often works out more cost-effective. You can choose either option before payment.

Can I exercise before Megakaryocytic Marker : CD 61?plus

Avoid strenuous exercise for 12 to 24 hours before Megakaryocytic Marker : CD 61, since intense activity can temporarily change several blood markers. Light everyday movement is fine.
