Q: scared..high nk cells??? cd3-/cd16+cd56+ (nk): cell count%= 23, absolute count(x10 9 /l)= 0.57*? cbc normal(alt 36 u/l)? abd pain 2yr+, diarrhea <1yr?

?: We treat patients not lab results, those labs aren't in isolation, the doctor ordered them for a reason to be read in the context of a complete clinical picture, every number you mentioned doesn't make sense alone, even the diarrhea, please confer with your doctor or the treating team, and try not to google those blogs, trusted medical sites, if you have a diagnosis, would be a great help,goodluck

Q: my period has always been regular cd36. now i'm 19 days late with cd56.should i wait more or see doc now to get hcg blood test done?

Yes: You can take a home pregnancy test and it should be positive if you are pregnant

Q: transient moderate neutropenia (0.6451.5 after 10 days), low cd4 (348), cd4/cd8 ratio 0.98, bone marrow biopsy = mildly hypocellular and aberrant partial cd56 expression on granulo/monocytes, hiv -ve, 2% atypical lymphs, bad fatigue. any ideas??

: Can you elaborate more on symptoms which led to the works-up besides fatigue? A thorough medical history is very important when interpreting any laboratory findings, especially when physical examination is not done. Take care.

Q: what should p waves look like in lead v1? what does it mean if different on some ekg?one will show completely positive,one fully negative,another biph

There can be a lot: of normal variability to the p-wave morphology in V1. More so in women. In general a biphasic or mostly upright p wave is usual. Certainly you could have an ectopic atrial activation in which case the morphology would be altered. Physical positioning (sitting, lying or at 30 degrees) for the EKG will also make a difference. Lead position too. Regardless it is usually of no clinical significance.

Q: what does it mean if there rubbela icg is positive?

You are immune: It means you are immune to german measles. You are protected against catching it.

Q: what's the mean of nit positive?

NIT: Urinary nitrite (NIT) is an indicator of bacteriuria.

Question 1

what does cd56 positive mean?

Accepted Answer

CD56 present: In a histopathology report or flow cytometry on peripheral blood?  CD56 is normally expressed on NK cells and activated blood Tcells.Certain neurons also express it.  Myeloid leukemia, neuroendocrine tumors, Wilms' tumor, neuroblastoma, NK/T cell lymphomas, lung cancers, and the Ewing's sarcoma family of tumors can be CD56+ too. Has to be interpreted within context.

Question 2

i had a pbs immunocytochemistry test and dont understand the lab result (t/nk:cd4 cd56 cd2 cd7 b cells:cd19 myeloid cells:cd64 cd33 cd14 cd65 cd13 cd15 activation antigens:cd34 hla-dr cd133 cd117 other:cd45 cd11b) can someone tell me what these mean?

Accepted Answer

: The purpose of a PBS immunocytochemistry test is to detect and identify specific proteins within cells. It uses antibodies to visualize protein expression and localization. For example CD56 is expressed by the natural killer cell. CD34 is made by stem cells.  This test is best interpreted with the help of a hematology specialist.

Question 3

please advise:
the tumor cells stain negatively for cd56 and positively for e-cadherin in both biopsy blocks.  ?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Problems like these can only be correctly handled by your doctor in person.  He/she needs to listen to you, perform an examination and possibly run labs or other tests. That's the only way he/she can find out what's going on and what to do about it.

Question 4

i had a bone marrow biopsy done a few days ago and the results just appeared on my health record. is this bad? abnormal plasma cells present (plasma cells show a mild lambda predominance, and aberrant coexpression of cd56?

Accepted Answer

: Multiple myeloma or AL amyloidosis come to mind. Presence of anemia,high serum calcium,bone pain are characteristics of myeloma. Both plasma cell dyscrasias can cause kidney damage &amp; have elevated serum lambda or kappa light chains. A hematologist oncologist is best to evaluate &amp; advise you. A serum&amp; urine immunofixation,24 hour urine total protein are often key. Congo red stain shows amyloid

Question 5

scared..high nk cells??? cd3-/cd16+cd56+ (nk): cell count%= 23, absolute count(x10 9 /l)= 0.57*? cbc normal(alt 36 u/l)? abd pain 2yr+, diarrhea <1yr?

Accepted Answer

Question 7

transient moderate neutropenia (0.6451.5 after 10 days), low cd4 (348), cd4/cd8 ratio 0.98, bone marrow biopsy = mildly hypocellular and aberrant partial cd56 expression on granulo/monocytes, hiv -ve, 2% atypical lymphs, bad fatigue. any ideas??
