What is Plasma Cell / Prognostic CLL Marker : CD 38?
This test measures the amount of CD38 protein on certain blood cells, mainly B lymphocytes and plasma cells. CD38 is a surface marker that tells doctors about cell activation and growth behavior.

What does Plasma Cell / Prognostic CLL Marker : CD 38 measure?
In chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and some plasma cell disorders, higher CD38 levels often mean a more active or aggressive disease. Doctors use CD38 along with other tests to help predict prognosis, choose treatments, and monitor response. It is usually done by flow cytometry on a blood sample. Results are interpreted together with symptoms, blood counts, and other lab findings to guide follow-up and treatment decisions.
What symptoms suggest Plasma Cell / Prognostic CLL Marker : CD 38 may be needed?
A doctor may recommend Plasma Cell / Prognostic CLL Marker : CD 38 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.
