An accurate diagnosis is the basis of effective treatment. At the Unidad de Alergia, Asma e Inmunología Clínica, every patient receives a comprehensive assessment to identify the origin of their condition and design a personalized treatment plan — whether for full recovery or long-term control of a chronic disease.

Diagnostic process

Diagnosis in allergy and clinical immunology combines clinical assessment with specialized tests to pinpoint the condition and its triggers:

Detailed medical history

A thorough review of symptoms, family history, environmental factors and response to previous treatments to guide the differential diagnosis.

Allergy tests

Skin prick tests, specific IgE and other immune markers to identify the allergens or causative agents.

Lung function tests

Spirometry, FeNO and pulse oximetry to assess the respiratory system in patients with asthma or other lung diseases.

Immunology laboratory

Complete blood count, inflammatory panel, nasal cytology and other specialized tests available in the clinic's immunopathology laboratory.
