The CytoDx® Cytokine Response Profile from Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory evaluates cytokines, which are critical mediators in many immune responses. Studies indicate that cytokine imbalance plays a key role in chronic inflammation and autoimmune disease.
Alterations in the immune system that result in chronic inflammation and autoimmunity have been linked to various health conditions and diseases. Cytokines are important mediators of many immune responses, and imbalances in cytokines have been shown to play key roles in chronic inflammation and autoimmunity.
Most cytokines can be generally characterized as pro-inflammatory or anti-inflammatory, depending on their primary effects on immune responses. Immune responses are often further characterized by the type of T helper (Th) cell involved.
Autoimmune conditions are prevalent throughout the world. Evaluation of the cytokine response can help practitioners assess the immune status and personalize medicine by linking the critical gut-immune connection.
CytoDx® provides clinicians with powerful insight into their patient's systemic immune regulatory function, allowing for advanced health assessment and individualized treatment plans based on specific immune responses.
A wide array of conditions is associated with cytokine imbalances. Patients suffering from the following conditions can benefit from testing:
The CytoDx assesses systemic immune status and offers insight into pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokine balance, allowing for advanced health assessment and individualized treatment plans.
