UNDERSTANDING IMMUNE-SYSTEM TESTS: IMMUNOMEDEX
The ImmunoMedex test is a special panel of blood tests that allows the physician to survey the inflammatory and nutritional
response of the body and, therefore, predict the immune response. Results:
1 or less = very low risk ‘ 2-10 = mild risk 11-20 = medium risk 21-30 = high risk 30 = very high risk Nutritional deficits, especially of protein, calories, vitamins and minerals, are frequently seen in hospitalized patients. These deficiencies adversely affect the immune system, lead to poor wound healing and coagulation problems, alter drug metabolism and increase the risk of disease and death. Nutritional shortcomings also decrease the patient’s tolerance for chemotherapy and radiation, and they lengthen the convalescent time following surgery. Therefore, the ImmunoMedex test is an absolute must for most any ill person who is planning surgery or who wants an early indication of immune system weakness.
