What is a Plasma Cell / Multiple Marker : CD 138 Test in Mumbai ?
What is Plasma Cell / Multiple Marker : CD 138?
The CD138 test looks for a protein called CD138 on cells in a tissue sample. CD138 is commonly found on plasma cells, the immune cells that make antibodies. Physical examination provides clues; a test result removes ambiguity and allows targeted, evidence-based management to begin promptly.
What does Plasma Cell / Multiple Marker : CD 138 measure?
Detecting CD138 helps pathologists identify and count plasma cells. This is important when doctors suspect plasma cell disorders like multiple myeloma or plasmacytoma. The test also helps distinguish plasma cells from other cell types in tumors. Results guide diagnosis, staging, treatment decisions, and monitoring of disease over time.
What symptoms suggest Plasma Cell / Multiple Marker : CD 138 may be needed?
A doctor may recommend Plasma Cell / Multiple Marker : CD 138 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 Mumbai is available at labs and at home across Kurla, Vashi, and surrounding neighbourhoods.
How is Plasma Cell / Multiple Marker : CD 138 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 Kurla or Vashi, Mumbai, after which the sample is dispatched to the NABL-accredited lab for processing.
How accurate is Plasma Cell / Multiple Marker : CD 138?
Samples collected in Kurla or Vashi, Mumbai 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 Plasma Cell / Multiple Marker : CD 138?
Risk is minimal. Swab, sputum, or fluid collection by a trained professional in Kurla or Vashi, Mumbai 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?
Positive CD138 means the tissue expresses syndecan‑1, a marker of plasma cells.
Plasma Cell / Multiple Marker : CD 138 Test Preparation in Mumbai
Medication guidance:

Diet and fasting:

When to book:

Why Take a Plasma Cell / Multiple Marker : CD 138 Test in Mumbai ?
When does a doctor order Plasma Cell / Multiple Marker : CD 138?
Plasma Cell / Multiple Marker : CD 138 is used as part of an immunohistochemistry panel on biopsy or bone marrow specimens to identify plasma cells. Doctors order it when patients have symptoms like unexplained fatigue, bone pain, recurrent infections, anemia, or abnormal blood tests.
Who should get Plasma Cell / Multiple Marker : CD 138 done in Mumbai?
Mumbai's 21 million metropolitan population, annual monsoon flooding creating severe leptospirosis and dengue risk in Kurla, Andheri, and Ghatkopar, high corporate stress and commute burden, significant diabetes and cardiovascular disease prevalence, and a massive working population with irregular meal and sleep patterns make regular preventive diagnostic testing an essential health investment for all residents. This test benefits patients whose symptoms need a definitive laboratory answer, such as a persistent infection, an unexplained lump, or an abnormal fluid collection. In Mumbai, GetVisit coordinates collection and NABL processing for residents of Mulund, Santacruz, and across the city.
What conditions can Plasma Cell / Multiple Marker : CD 138 help diagnose?
It helps diagnose and monitor conditions such as multiple myeloma, plasmacytoma, or reactive plasmacytosis. Abnormal results usually reflect increased plasma cells from disease rather than lifestyle, and a family history of blood cancers may prompt earlier testing.
What do Plasma Cell / Multiple Marker : CD 138 results mean?
Higher or positive results: Positive CD138 means the tissue expresses syndecan‑1, a marker of plasma cells. 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 Plasma Cell / Multiple Marker : CD 138 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 Plasma Cell / Multiple Marker : CD 138 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.
