What does this test CD138 Test Immunohistochemistry identify?

CD138 Test Immunohistochemistry

The CD138 test, also known as syndecan-1 test, is an immunohistochemistry test that identifies the presence of CD138 antigen in tissue samples. CD138 is a transmembrane heparan sulfate proteoglycan that is expressed on the surface of plasma cells.

Immunohistochemistry uses antibodies specific to CD138 to detect its presence in tissue sections. The test is commonly used to diagnose and classify plasma cell dyscrasias such as multiple myeloma and solitary plasmacytoma.

The CD138 test can help differentiate between benign and malignant plasma cell proliferations and aid in the diagnosis and management of plasma cell disorders. It is an important tool in the assessment of plasma cell neoplasms and can provide valuable information for treatment planning and prognosis.

Why is CD138 Test Immunohistochemistry taken?

CD138, also known as syndecan-1, is a cell surface protein that is commonly expressed on plasma cells. The CD138 Test Immunohistochemistry is taken to detect the presence of CD138 protein in tissue samples. This test is commonly used in the diagnosis and classification of plasma cell neoplasms, such as multiple myeloma and plasmacytoma.

CD138 Test Immunohistochemistry is also used to assess the degree of plasma cell infiltration in tissues, which can help in determining the prognosis and treatment options for patients with plasma cell disorders. Additionally, this test is used to differentiate plasma cell neoplasms from other types of lymphoproliferative disorders.

Overall, CD138 Test Immunohistochemistry plays a crucial role in the diagnosis, prognosis, and management of plasma cell disorders and is an essential tool in the field of pathology and oncology.
