How to check immunity

Immunity is very important for the body. If the body's immunity is low, it will be easy to get sick. It will also easily lead to low body resistance and be susceptible to bacterial invasion, causing colds or physical diseases. The method of checking the body's immunity is also very simple, and it requires a medical blood routine test to make a judgment.

How to check immunity

Immunity is a relatively comprehensive concept, and currently there is no single test that can directly and comprehensively reflect the status of immunity. You can check immunoglobulin, blood routine, trace elements, etc.

The immune system can generally be divided into two categories, humoral immunity and cellular immunity. Humoral immunity mainly involves antibodies in the human body that can bind to various attacking substances. They are a class of large molecular proteins, also called immunoglobulins. Decreased immunity refers to a decrease in antibody levels in the body or a decrease in the function of T and B cells, which makes the body susceptible to various infections.

In clinical practice, the main indicators for measuring immunity are quantification of serum immunoglobulins and analysis of T cell subsets.

How to check immunity

What to check for decreased immunity?

1. Now regular hospitals have immunology departments for examinations, but there is currently no direct examination of the immune status. You can do a blood test, trace element test, immunoglobulin test, etc.

2. Under natural and healthy conditions, the human body's Qi and blood will circulate smoothly in the body. However, excessive emotional fluctuations such as joy, anger, sorrow, thinking, fear, and worry, or an undisciplined lifestyle that leads to excessive hunger or fullness, overwork, or external evils such as wind, cold, heat, dryness, and fire invading the body can all cause the meridians to become blocked, Qi and blood to stagnate and remain, the immune system to be damaged, and its function to decline, which will lead to disease over time.

3. Modern life is busy and stressful. People get up early and go to bed late. Their sleep quality is poor, and they are prone to fatigue, headaches, chest tightness and bloating. Women are prone to irregular menstruation. Traditional Chinese medicine calls the above symptoms liver qi stagnation. If it is accompanied by oral ulcer inflammation, angular cheilitis, etc., it means that the liver fire is too strong. A busy and stressful life disrupts the body's physiological laws and weakens immunity.

What are the symptoms of low immunity?

1. Patients with low immunity usually lack motivation at work and always feel exhausted after doing a little bit of work. When they go to the hospital for a check-up, no disease is found. But the symptoms improve after resting for some time, but they will feel tired again soon.

2. People with low immunity will often catch colds. If the weather gets a little colder and they don’t put on more clothes in time, they will sneeze and catch a cold after a few days. It will take a long time to recover from a cold.

3. The wounds of people with low immunity will easily become infected. Soon the wounds will become red and swollen, and even pus will ooze out. The healing process will be very slow. If someone around you catches a cold, you will soon also catch a cold.

When immunity decreases, patients must undergo timely examinations, and then pay attention to getting more rest, choosing a diet that suits them, and eating more nutritious foods.
