About This Treatment

Comprehensive immune system evaluation for patients with recurrent infections, suspected immunodeficiency, or autoimmune conditions. China's immunology centers offer advanced testing including lymphocyte subset analysis, immunoglobulin levels, complement studies, and functional immune assays at a fraction of Western laboratory costs. The evaluation identifies treatable immune deficiencies and guides targeted therapy.

Procedure Steps
1

Clinical History & Examination

Detailed immunological history including infection frequency, severity, family history, and systematic physical examination for immune deficiency signs

Duration: 1-2 hours
2

Laboratory Immune Panel

Comprehensive blood work including CBC with differential, immunoglobulin levels (IgG/A/M/E), complement (C3/C4/CH50), and lymphocyte subsets by flow cytometry

Duration: 1 day
3

Functional Immune Testing

Vaccine response assessment, lymphocyte proliferation assays, NK cell function, and neutrophil oxidative burst testing

Duration: 1-2 days
4

Results & Treatment Plan

Immunologist reviews all results, provides diagnosis, and develops treatment plan which may include immunoglobulin replacement, prophylactic antibiotics, or immunomodulation

Duration: 1 day
