Immunological

Immunological blood testing allows assessment of the functional status of the human immune system. This analysis determines the number of immune cells and circulating immune complexes and provides information on the condition of various components of the immune system. It enables the diagnosis of primary and secondary immunodeficiencies and is essential for the evaluation of autoimmune, hematological, and infectious diseases.

Immunological blood testing is performed only when clinically indicated. The main indications include:

• Frequent infectious diseases;
• Chronic and prolonged infections;
• Suspected hereditary disorders associated with immune system dysfunction;
• Allergic and autoimmune diseases;
• Malignant neoplasms;
• Pre- and post-organ transplantation assessment;
• Evaluation of treatment efficacy in the above-mentioned conditions;
• Monitoring the effectiveness of cytostatic agents and medications that stimulate or suppress immune function.

During immunological blood testing, the body’s defense mechanisms are evaluated comprehensively. Both the quantity and functional activity of immune cells, as well as the presence of specific antibodies, are assessed. The human immune system consists of multiple components; when each of them is evaluated, the immunogram becomes extensive and represents a complex and time-consuming analysis. In most cases, assessment is limited to one or several immune parameters directly involved in the specific pathological process.

The Family Laboratory offers the following immunological blood tests:

• Comprehensive immunogram;
• Total serum IgE;
• Immunological compatibility testing (leukocyte compatibility, hemolysins, complement).
