There are a number of diagnostic tests which the doctors perform to verify Leukemia and its level.

Blood Test: This is one of the most suggested options for diagnoses of Leukemia. The blood test reports give the exact idea about Leukaemia, but doctors carry out further advance blood test for confirmation.

Bone Marrow Sample: The cancerous cells target the bone marrow to cause Leukemia. So, this is also an effective way to detect this blood cancer type. This test is conducted by giving local anesthesia to the body, followed by the insertion of a needle in the pelvic bone. Through this, the doctors bring a tiny portion of bone marrow out of the body and check its status under the microscope. Another option which is available is the blood test of the Bone Marrow Sample.

Lumbar Puncture: To conduct this test, a small amount of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is required which is present around the spinal cord. To withdraw cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), a needle is inserted between the Vertebrae in the lower lumbar region of the spinal cord. This test is most effective when we want to check the spreading of Leukemia.

Cell and Chromosome Analysis: All the above test helps us in detecting Leukemia, but this test will help you know about the specific type of Leukemia from which the patient is suffering as it tells you precisely about the suffering cell.
