Chronic Lymphoproliferative Disorders (CLPD) Leukemia Test Cost & Procedure

CLPD stands for Chronic Lymphoproliferative Disorder, which is a group of disorders that affect the lymphocytes, a type of white blood cell that helps fight infections in the body. On the other hand, Leukemia, is a type of cancer that affects both the blood and bone marrow.

CLPD leukemia is a term that can be used to describe a chronic lymphoproliferative disorder that has transformed into leukemia. This means that the disorder has progressed and the abnormal lymphocytes have become cancerous, leading to the production of an excessive amount of immature white blood cells.

Several types of chronic lymphoproliferative disorders can progress to leukemia, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), and hairy cell leukemia. Treatment for CLPD leukemia typically involves chemotherapy, radiation therapy, targeted therapy, or a combination of these treatments.

Sample Type Required

To diagnose CLPD leukemia, a sample of blood, bone marrow, or lymph nodes may be taken for laboratory testing. The specific type of sample collected will depend on the patient's symptoms and medical history, as well as the suspected type and stage of leukemia.

Blood tests may be used to detect abnormal white blood cells or other changes in the blood that could indicate leukemia. A bone marrow biopsy involves collecting a small sample of bone marrow using a needle inserted into the hipbone. The sample is then examined under a microscope to look for abnormal cells or other signs of leukemia. A lymph node biopsy involves removing a small piece of tissue from an enlarged lymph node to be examined under a microscope.

Other tests may also be used to help diagnose and stage CLPD leukemia, including imaging tests such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRI scans, and molecular or genetic tests to look for specific changes or mutations in the leukemia cells.
