Conteo de células T - Risks

Nombres alternativos

Conteo de linfocitos derivados del timo; Conteo de linfocitos T

Riesgos:

Los riesgos asociados con la toma de una muestra de sangre son leves:

  • Sangrado excesivo
  • Desmayo o sensación de mareo
  • Hematoma (acumulación de sangre bajo la piel)
  • Infección (un ligero riesgo en cualquier momento que se presente ruptura de la piel)
  • Punciones múltiples para localizar las venas

Nota: este examen a menudo se lleva a cabo en personas con sistemas inmunitarios alterados. Por lo tanto, el riesgo de infección puede ser ligeramente mayor que cuando se le extrae sangre a una persona con un sistema inmunitario normal.

Consideraciones:

Los siguientes factores pueden afectar los resultados del examen:

  • Medicamentos de quimioterapia
  • Corticosteroides
  • Medicamentos inmunodepresores
  • Radioterapia
  • Estrés
  • Cirugía
