Full write-up
What is it
Immune Basic is a basic immune checkup that provides an organized, at-a-glance view of selected immune-related markers. Considering the panel as a whole can offer a broader perspective than looking at one marker alone. It is an educational reference for understanding this immune checkup, while interpretation in the context of a medical condition belongs with a clinician.
What's included
This panel brings together a broad measure of White Blood Cells with measurements of two specific white blood cell populations: Lymphocytes and Neutrophils. Together, these markers provide an overall count alongside separate results for selected components of that count.
All three markers are measured from whole blood and use the same unit, 10^9/L. Considering the total White Blood Cells result alongside Lymphocytes and Neutrophils helps place the selected cell-population measurements in the context of the broader white blood cell count.
How to prepare
Fasting is not required before the Immune Basic checkup, so it can be scheduled without preparing by avoiding food beforehand.
The checkup uses a whole blood sample. Follow any collection instructions provided by the testing service or clinician, particularly regarding where and when the sample will be collected.
