what the risks are type 5 acid phosphatase, a test performed on blood cells, bone marrow, biopsy, in order to support a diagnosis of hairy cell leukemia, done on blood plasma, case the doctor is looking, signs of bone breakdown, example to measure bone destruction, cancer, blood is drawn, a vein, the elbow, the hand, puncture site is cleaned, antiseptic, an elastic band, around the upper arm to cause the vein to swell, blood, a needle is inserted, vein, blood is collected in air-tight vials, a syringe, band is removed, restore circulation, once the blood has been collected, needle is removed, puncture site is covered to stop any bleeding, done on a bone marrow biopsy, test is discussed in detail in another section, no special preparation is necessary, the blood test, the needle is inserted to draw blood, feel moderate pain others feel only a prick, stinging sensation, some throbbing, tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase, trap, an isoenzyme of acid phosphatase which is found mainly in bone, blood cells, isoenzymes, different forms of an enzyme, different physical structures, catalyze, speed up, similar biochemical reactions, isoenzymes frequently differ in concentration in different tissues, hairy cell leukemia, type of blood cancer, trap levels have been found to be very high, a stain, trap on leukemia cells, in the blood, bone marrow, support a diagnosis of hairy cell leukemia, test is negative, diagnosis of hairy cell leukemia is unlikely, trap is also released, activity of osteoclasts, a type of cell that breaks down bone, bone is broken down faster than usual, lead to, excessive levels of trap, in the blood, in this case the trap is not contained, the blood cells, free, in the plasma, liquid part of blood, activity of cancers that invade bone, multiple myeloma, breast, lung, prostate cancer which has metastasized to bone, followed by measuring trap, in the plasma, test is not yet in widespread use, used more, in the future, research proves it to be useful, there, less than 5 ng/ml of acid phosphatase, tartrate, ng/ml = nanogram per milliliter, a high level in leukemia cells supports a diagnosis of hairy cell leukemia, a high level, in the plasma indicates bone breakdown, due to many types of diseases, cancer it is likely related to bone invasion, metastasis, by the cancer, excessive bleeding, fainting, feeling light-headed, hematoma, blood accumulating under the skin, infection, a slight risk, the skin is broken, multiple punctures to locate veins, this test has, become less important in diagnosis of hairy cell leukemia, the widespread use of immunophenotyping, a method of identifying cells, molecules found on the cell surface.
