Understanding Your Immune Health: CD49d Immunophenotyping Test
When you’re facing concerns about your immune system or blood health, having clear, accurate information is essential for peace of mind. Our CD49d Immunophenotyping Test provides the detailed cellular analysis your healthcare team needs to understand your immune function and guide your treatment journey with confidence.
What This Test Reveals About Your Health
The CD49d Immunophenotyping Test uses advanced flow cytometry technology to examine specific markers on your immune cells. CD49d is a protein that plays a crucial role in how immune cells move through your body and respond to inflammation. By analysing this marker, we can gain valuable insights into:
- Immune cell activation and migration patterns
- Inflammatory responses and autoimmune conditions
- Specific blood disorders and cancers
- Treatment effectiveness and disease progression
This isn’t just a routine blood test – it’s a sophisticated analysis that helps paint a complete picture of your immune system’s current state.
Who Should Consider This Important Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms or situations, the CD49d test could provide crucial answers:
- Unexplained fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
- Recurrent infections or unusual susceptibility to illness
- Diagnosed autoimmune conditions requiring monitoring
- Blood disorders like leukaemia or lymphoma
- Unexplained inflammation or joint pain
- Following abnormal results from routine blood tests
- Monitoring treatment response for immune-related conditions
Many South Africans find this test particularly valuable when their symptoms don’t fit typical patterns or when standard tests haven’t provided clear answers.
