The cytology reflex cell block ihc test and Relevant IHC (Fluid) Test is an advanced diagnostic workflow used to examine cells present in body fluids such as pleural, ascitic, peritoneal, or cerebrospinal fluid. Cytology refers to microscopic examination of cells to detect inflammation, infection, or malignancy. When initial cytology findings are suspicious or inconclusive, a cell block is prepared from the same specimen to allow further tissue-like analysis.
If indicated, Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is performed on the cell block to identify specific protein markers that help determine the origin and nature of abnormal cells. At healthcare nt sickcare, this test is available via a direct walk-in facility in Pune for submitted specimens. Samples are processed through NABL-accredited partner labs, and healthcare nt sickcare is ISO certified, supporting accurate diagnosis under medical supervision across Maharashtra.
