Myeloperoxidase Mpo Stain Blood Bone Marrow

• Principle: The Myeloperoxidase (MPO) Stain is a laboratory test based on histochemical staining techniques, specifically targeting myeloid cells in blood and bone marrow samples
• Staining Method: Utilizes a peroxidase enzyme reaction to identify and highlight the presence of myeloperoxidase in the cytoplasm of myeloid cells
• Microscopic Examination: Microscopic analysis is performed on stained blood and bone marrow samples, allowing for the visualization and identification of myeloid cell populations

• Diagnosis of Leukemias: The Primary tool for identifying and categorizing leukaemias, especially acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), by assessing the myeloid cell population
• Differential Diagnosis: Aids in distinguishing between various types of leukaemias and other haematological disorders based on the specific staining patterns observed
• Monitoring Disease Progression: Enables the monitoring of myeloid cell changes over time, providing valuable information about disease progression

• Peripheral Blood Smear Analysis: Staining and examination of peripheral blood smears to identify myeloperoxidase-positive cells
• Bone Marrow Aspiration Staining: Staining of bone marrow aspirate slides to evaluate the myeloid cell population in the bone marrow
• Quantitative Assessment: Provides quantitative information on the abundance of myeloperoxidase-positive cells, aiding in disease characterization

• Positive Staining: The presence of intense brown cytoplasmic staining in myeloid cells indicates the expression of myeloperoxidase and supports a diagnosis of myeloid leukaemia
• Negative Staining: Absence of myeloperoxidase staining, suggesting a non-myeloid origin of the cells and aiding in the differential diagnosis
• Staining Patterns: Different staining patterns may indicate specific subtypes of myeloid leukaemias, contributing to the overall diagnostic assessment

• Diagnostic Report: Detailed report summarizing the staining patterns observed in both blood and bone marrow samples
• Photomicrographs: The inclusion of photomicrographs illustrating the myeloperoxidase staining, enhances the understanding of the test results
• Clinical Correlation: Integration of staining results with clinical data to provide a comprehensive interpretation and aid in the formulation of a final diagnosis
