Laboratory

Immunology and serology are branches of laboratory medicine that deal with the study of the body's immune system and the detection of antibodies in the blood. At Saudi German Hospital, we specialise in providing high-quality immunology and serology services to help physicians and healthcare providers make informed decisions about patient care.

What is an immune system?

The immune system is a complex network of cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect the body from infection and disease. When the immune system is functioning properly, it is able to recognize and respond to foreign invaders, such as bacteria and viruses. However, when the immune system is compromised or overactive, it can lead to a wide range of health problems.

Immune tests vs. Serology tests

Immunology tests are used to evaluate the function of the immune system and identify any problems that may be contributing to a patient's symptoms. These tests can be used to diagnose a wide range of conditions, including autoimmune diseases, allergies, and infections.

Serology tests, on the other hand, are used to detect antibodies in the blood. Antibodies are proteins that are produced by the immune system in response to an infection or other foreign substance. The presence of certain antibodies in the blood can indicate the presence of a specific infection or disease.
