Can't be interpreted: Paula, it is impossible to interpret selected lab values without seeing all of the results, including the normals, and having knowledge about your clinical status. If you have concerns, you might consider talking to the doctor who ordered the labs or logging onto HealthTap Prime and asking a doctor there via telemedicine. Good luck.

Biomarkers in blood: If your blood had a flow cytometry test showing expression of both markers, CD4 and CD30, and you have a lump or lymphadenopathy,then the hemeonc is looking for involvement of blood with T cell lymphomas that contain both markers.Transformed Mycosis Fungoides, spread of cutaneous anaplastic lymphoma which are often CD4+CD30+, or systemic ALCL going to blood could be reasons.Ask hemeonc about above
