Overview
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of chronic lymphocytic leukemia include abnormal complete blood count, immunohistochemistry, and electrophoresis. Monoclonality of kappa and lambda producing B cells is a key diagnostic feature among patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.[1][2]
Laboratory Findings
Complete Blood Count
- Absolute lymphocytosis (>5000 cells/μ)[1][2]
- Decreased hemoglobin level
- Decreased platelets count
Blood Smear
Metabolic Panel
- Elevated low-density lipoprotein level[1][2]
Quantitative Immunoglobulin Assay
- Quantitative measurement of IgA, IgG, and IgM immunoglobulins to detect hypogammaglobulinemia[1][2]
- Elevated β2-microglobulin level
Electrophoresis
- Monoclonality of kappa and lambda producing B cells is a key diagnostic feature among patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia.[1][2]
Immunohistochemistry
- Chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells typically express CD19, CD20, CD23, and CD5 on the cell surface.[1][2]
