Specimen
1.0 mL EDTA whole blood, AND bone marrow sample in lavender top tube or 4 to 5 air-dried bone marrow slides.
Description
This test includes a microscopic evaluation of bone marrow. The report includes descriptions of cellularity, assessment of cell lineage, and pathologist comments. The CBC submitted at the time of the bone marrow sampling is utilized in the interpretation of the bone marrow evaluation to allow for a more complete assessment of the hematopoietic system. A detailed history and time course of events will further aid the pathologist in the interpretation of the findings.

Bone Marrow Cytology

This test includes a microscopic evaluation of bone marrow. The report includes descriptions of cellularity, assessment of cell lineage, and pathologist comments.
