💡Scientists have studied that in severe SARS-CoV-2, the disease proceeds in two stages: Stage I - the immune system responds to the virus quickly and effectively; Stage II - its reaction becomes aggressive, which, in turn, leads to the production of an excessive amount of cytokines. 📍As a result, complications of the respiratory system arise: pneumonia, distress syndrome, respiratory failure. 🔴“Cytokine storm” is a phenomenon when the immune system produces an excessive number of immune cells that secrete proteins - messengers, known as cytokines. It is this excess of cytokines that can lead to lung inflammation. Analysis for interleukin-6 makes it possible to assess the patient's condition in severe cases of the disease, as the anti-inflammatory cytokine has an effect on the organs and systems of the body. 🔴“Cytokine storms” are observed in various viral and bacterial infections (hepatitis, HIV, COVID-19), as well as in patients receiving certain treatments – CAR-T (for example), used to attack cancer cells.

📍 IL-6 is an anti-inflammatory cytokine that affects the body as a whole, increases inflammatory processes and contributes to the exacerbation of chronic diseases of the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, as well as disrupts the functioning of the liver, immune and endocrine systems, and metabolism. It is a marker of acute systemic inflammation. 🚨 IL-6 is synthesized by: - activated monocytes/macrophages; - fibroblasts; - endothelial cells during inflammation, trauma, hypoxia, bacterial infections. The anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-6 is produced rapidly, increases during acute inflammatory reactions associated with damage, trauma, stress, infection, and other pathological conditions. The concentration of IL-6 in patients with injuries can serve as precursors of late complications of surgical treatment or a marker of undiagnosed injuries or complications. Consecutive measurements of interleukin-6 in serum or plasma of patients admitted to the intensive care unit and intensive care unit. Successfully used to assess the severity of SIRS (systemic inflammatory response syndrome), sepsis and septic shock, as well as to predict clinical outcome in such patients. ❗️Depending on the results of this...

In 🦠COVID-19, the virus acts on cells that produce insulin, changing their secretion. As a result, the cells do not receive glucose - they "starve". Under such conditions, the virus multiplies rapidly and aggravates any infectious process➡️ COVID-19 needs energy (glucose). Oxygen kills COVID-19, but it "feeds" on glucose, which it takes from the heart, liver, and muscles. There are no age restrictions on increasing blood glucose levels, so the most common diagnostic method is to determine the glucose content in the morning blood serum "on an empty stomach". 💡Deadline: 🔴 Mon-Fri: Sampling 7.00-10.00 - glucose result an hour after the test. Sampling 10.00-15.00 - result an hour after the test. 🔴 Sat: Sampling 8.00-12.00 - result at 13.00-14.00.

Do not forget when leaving home that following basic safety rules can protect you and your family from infection and contamination with pathogens that cause diseases! ❌ avoid crowded places; ‼️keep your distance; 🧲wash your hands with soap often; 🚨use antiseptic hand sanitizers; 🍎monitor your diet; ☎️at the slightest sign of illness, stay home, call your family doctor. 🔊The Medi Lab+ laboratory conducts laboratory diagnostics using modern, updated European equipment, which ensures high quality tests. This allows the doctor to know which pathogen he is dealing with and to start treatment in a timely and effective manner.

This list of laboratory tests is necessary for: - Assessment of immunity against COVID-19; - Confirmation of the fact of having had coronavirus disease; - Monitoring indicators during and after treatment for COVID-19. With care for you and your family, Medi Lab+❤️

This study allows you to: - assess the level of immune protection after vaccination; - learn about the presence of an immune response that could have formed naturally. Unlike other studies on Ig antibodies to the S-protein, neutralizing antibodies to COVID-19 show the presence of protective properties of the immune response in the body. ❗️Preparation: The material is taken on an empty stomach (do not eat anything); drinking water is allowed. ⏳Deadline:⏳ Collection 7:00-12:00 - results are issued: 16:00-16:30 Collection 12:00-15:00 - results are issued: 19:30-20:00.

Duration of execution: 1 working day. It is necessary to collect the first urine of the night immediately into a sterile disposable container with a capacity of 20 ml. Make sure that the container is tightly closed. The collected material should be delivered to the “Medi Lab+” laboratory no later than two hours after collection. ‼️Urine analysis according to Nechyporenko‼️ ⏳ Duration of execution: 1 working day. An average portion of morning urine (5-10 ml) is collected into a sterile disposable container, immediately after sleep, after which the container is tightly closed with a lid and delivered to the laboratory no later than two hours after collection of the material. With the help of this analysis, the following indicators can be determined: -Specific gravity -Protein -Leukocytes -Erythrocytes -Cylinders ‼️‼️‼️ATTENTION! Do not forget to inquire in advance about the work schedule and reception of this study in the “Medi Lab+” laboratory.

Every year, on March 24, World Tuberculosis Day is celebrated all over the world. It was on this day in 1882 in Berlin that Dr. Robert Koch announced the discovery of this terrible disease, which still threatens each of us. If you think that this disease can never touch us, then this is not so. Tuberculosis is undefeated, it is among us, and every minute on Earth people suffer from it. ❗️ In the medical laboratory Medi Lab+ you can conduct research that will help recognize tuberculosis: 🩸 Complete blood count (CBC); 🩸 C-reactive protein (CRP) - refers to proteins of the acute phase of inflammation; 🩸 C-reactive protein (CRP) is highly sensitive - allows you to confirm the presence of inflammation even of a very low degree in people who seem healthy at first glance; 🩸 Protein fractions - a decrease in albumin and an increase in alpha-1 and alpha-2 globulins occur in the acute process, the initial stage of the disease. 👉 The causative agent of tuberculosis is mycobacteria...

Why tumor markers are of interest even to healthy people A few years ago, tumor markers were mainly taken by patients with suspected oncology. Today, they are prescribed both during routine medical examinations and during monitoring of chronic conditions. The reason is clear - this is one of the fastest ways to check whether everything is fine with the internal organs. But at the same time, there are many misunderstandings around the topic: some perceive tumor markers as a "cancer test", while others - as an ordinary biochemical analysis. To understand what they really show, it is worth considering their role in more depth. Tumor markers - what are they anyway? Tumor markers are specific substances (mainly proteins or antigens) that can be secreted: by the tumor itself or by the body in response to its development. They can be detected in blood, urine, cerebrospinal fluid, saliva or tissues. There are three main roles of tumor markers: Signal about a probable tumor process Monitoring dynamics after treatment Assessing the effectiveness of therapy Tumor markers do not make a diagnosis on their own, but often prompt the doctor to...
