🔬 What is the Test?
The Acute Leukemia Basic Lineage Panel is a diagnostic test that helps classify leukemia into T-cell, B-cell, or myeloid lineage. It uses flow cytometry, genetic markers, and immunophenotyping to determine the type of leukemia, which is essential for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
📊 Normal Ranges:
No abnormal cell markers detected → Normal (No leukemia present)
Abnormal markers indicating T-cell, B-cell, or myeloid involvement → Suggests acute leukemia, requiring further evaluation
(Results should be interpreted along with clinical symptoms and other lab tests.)
🎯 Purpose of the Test:
✅ Identifies whether leukemia is T-cell ALL, B-cell ALL, or AML (myeloid lineage)
✅ Helps in risk stratification and treatment decisions
✅ Guides targeted therapy based on leukemia subtype
✅ Assists in monitoring disease progression and relapse risk
🩺 When is it Recommended?
🔹 For suspected leukemia cases (patients with abnormal blood counts, fatigue, bruising, or frequent infections)
🔹 To determine the specific leukemia subtype (T-ALL, B-ALL, AML)
🔹 Before starting leukemia-specific treatment
🔹 For disease monitoring and tracking treatment response
📝 How is the Test Done?
1️⃣ Sample Collection – Blood or bone marrow sample is taken.
2️⃣ Laboratory Analysis – Flow cytometry, immunophenotyping, and molecular testing detect cell markers.
3️⃣ Result Interpretation – Confirms leukemia type and guides treatment choices.
⚠️ What Do Abnormal Results Mean?
📉 No Leukemia-Related Abnormalities Detected:
No signs of leukemia, but further testing may be required if symptoms persist
📈 Presence of T, B, or Myeloid Markers:
Indicates leukemia subtype (T-ALL, B-ALL, or AML)
Helps determine high-risk vs. standard-risk leukemia
Guides personalized treatment approach (chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or targeted therapy)
📌 Infographic Design Idea:
✔ Medical color scheme (blue, white, and yellow)
✔ Illustration of T, B, and Myeloid cells with leukemia markers
✔ Flowchart explaining leukemia diagnosis and treatment pathways
✔ Table summarizing leukemia subtypes and their clinical significance
