How is Immune-Mediated Damage Diagnosed and Managed?
Diagnosis involves a combination of medical history, clinical examination, and laboratory tests to identify specific immune responses and potential triggers. Blood tests may measure specific antibodies or immune cell markers. Imaging studies and biopsies help assess the extent of tissue damage. Management strategies focus on removing the offending toxin, treating symptoms, and modulating the immune response. This may include corticosteroids or immunosuppressive drugs to reduce inflammation and immune system activity.
