Protein Profile and Lymphocyte Typing
These two tests are our basic weapons of precision diagnosisand require meticulous interpretation, taking into account the patient’s history, clinical history and examination.
What is Protein Profiling and Lymphocyte Typing?
The Protein Profileis the measurement of certain proteins that give us an idea of the immune, nutritional and inflammatory status of the organism. With this blood test we can make the diagnosis of suspected disease; as well as rule out many alterations. We can detect autoimmune disease, infection, alteration of defenses, allergy, cancer, etc.
What is Lymphocyte Typing?
- Lymphocyte Typing is a simple technique used to analyze a person’s immune status at a specific point in time. It only requires a routine blood sample, much like the one taken during any standard analysis.
- Lymphocytes are specialized white blood cells that play a key role in defending the body against various harmful agents, such as bacteria, viruses, and tumor cells. By assessing the populations and distribution of these cells in your body, we can gain insight into how your immune system is functioning and identify potential causes of health deterioration.
- This information allows us to modulate the immune system’s response, enabling us to not only treat the symptoms of your condition but also address the underlying causes of the disease.
