Sickle Cell Adhesion Test, VCAM-1

Nationwide rates for HCPCS 0121U

Measures how strongly a person's blood cells stick to VCAM-1, a protein on the lining of blood vessels, using a whole blood sample. Sticking of this kind contributes to the blockages seen in sickle cell disease. A companion test measures adhesion to P-selectin instead.
