How can you "measure" your immunity?

Have you ever wondered why we get sick? About why someone gets sick more often and someone less often? And why does a child who enters a new group for the first time have illnesses one after another? If you ask these questions to a person who is not related to medicine, then, at best, we will get some vague answers that it depends on the human immune system and its "hardening". And, in principle, he will be right, but to the question: "What is immunity?", hardly anyone will give a clear answer. For many, since childhood, immunity seems to be some kind of invisible shell that protects our body from germs like armor, and when this "armor" fails, we get sick. But medicine gives an accurate definition of the concept of immune status, so the quote: "In the modern understanding, the immune status of a person is a set of laboratory parameters characterizing the quantitative and functional activity of cells of the immune system at a given time." In simple terms, the immune system is a set of different cells of our body, which together protect us from various influences, both external (infection) and internal (cancer). And it is the quantitative (number) and qualitative (functional usefulness) of their composition that determine what our immune status is, that is, how vulnerable we are to diseases. 

Now you understand that immunity is not an abstraction, but a concrete concept, the quality of which can be determined. To be more precise, we can determine the quality and quantity of cells that are responsible for immunity, such as: leukocytes (which include neutrophils, lymphocytes, basophils, monocytes, eosinophils) and immunoglobulin proteins (A, E, G, M). Various qualitative and quantitative changes in them can lead to immunodeficiency - conditions characterized by insufficient immunity. Signs that may include:

Frequent, long-term, protracted infections in children and adults, most often these are recurrent infections of the ENT organs and respiratory organs in children and adults;
recurrent or poorly treatable furunculosis, candidiasis of the skin and mucous membranes;
Persistent infections of the gastrointestinal tract.
Hidden infections and fever for no apparent reason.
Such knowledge about immunity and its functions appeared only at the end of the twentieth century, and therefore, until recently, there were no analysis methods that would allow us to get an idea of the qualitative and quantitative composition of immunity. But thanks to the development of science, a analysis appeared, which was called the "Immunogram".

"Immunogram" is a comprehensive blood test that allows you to determine the number and quality of different cells that form the immune system. This is an innovative examination, one of the main tasks of which is the diagnosis of immunodeficiency conditions.

Immunity is the basis of your health, take care of it!

The immunogram is an innovative analysis that has found wide application in modern medicine, and has helped in solving many questions that previously could not be answered. And now this examination is also available to our patients. The OLYMP CDL branches announces the launch of its own Immunogram analysis laboratory. Now you can contact any of the 180 treatment rooms of the OLYMP CDL, which are located through Kazakhstan, to undergo this advanced analysis and receive a comprehensive assessment of your immune status.

N.B. To interpret the results of the "Immunogram", an immunologist's consultation is required. Only a highly specialized specialist can decipher the indicators and give recommendations.
