Аннотация

Immunological laboratory testing is the basis for the diagnosis of most autoimmune and inflammatory rheumatic diseases. The substantial characteristics of the immune system at the older age include a higher frequency of autoantibodies, a predisposition to the inflammatory reactions, and a shift towards the monoclonal production of immunoglobulins. Interpretation of laboratory tests in geriatric patients should consider the unique characteristics of the immune response in older individuals.
