Understanding Your Immune Health: CD14 Immunophenotyping Test
When you’re experiencing unexplained symptoms or your immune system isn’t functioning as it should, it can be worrying and frustrating. The CD14 Immunophenotyping by Flow Cytometry test provides the clarity you need to understand what’s happening with your immune system and take control of your health journey.
What This Test Reveals About Your Immune System
The CD14 test uses advanced flow cytometry technology to analyse specific markers on your immune cells. CD14 is a crucial protein found on the surface of certain immune cells, particularly monocytes and macrophages, which play essential roles in your body’s defence system. By examining these cells, we can identify potential immune disorders, monitor treatment effectiveness, and detect abnormalities that might indicate underlying health conditions.
This isn’t just another blood test – it’s a comprehensive look at how your immune system is functioning at a cellular level, giving you and your doctor valuable information to make informed healthcare decisions.
Who Should Consider This Important Test?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- Unexplained recurrent infections or illnesses
- Persistent fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
- Autoimmune disorder symptoms or diagnosis
- Monitoring immune system function during cancer treatment
- Unexplained inflammation or inflammatory conditions
- Suspected immune deficiency disorders
- Monitoring transplant rejection risk
Many South Africans put off investigating these symptoms, but early detection can make a significant difference in treatment outcomes and quality of life.
