Immunity Diagnosis

Recognizing the Signs

Frequent colds and other infections, poor wound healing, persistent fatigue, and an insufficient immune response to vaccination are some of the symptoms of compromised immunity, which are similar to the signs of malnutrition, which results from poor micronutrient intake as well as inadequate macronutrient consumption. Dietary recalls and food records are useful for determining nutrient gaps that affect immunity. Serum and plasma biomarkers, including those for vitamin B12, vitamin D, and iron, help to confirm micronutrient status, but it’s not possible to accurately assess the levels of all micronutrients as some are stored in tissues.
