Overview
Blood cell tests: Most chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients have too many of lymphocytes and too few red blood cells and platelets. Besides counting the blood cells, doctors use a number of very precise lab tests, such as cytochemistry, flow cytometry, FISH, immunocytochemistry, cytogenetics, and molecular genetic studies, to diagnose and classify leukemia.
