Abstract:
The blood and circulatory system, which are crucial for maintaining normal physiological functions and homeostasis in the human body, can be subjected to erroneous attacks by the immune system due to autoimmune abnormalities. This can lead to symptoms, including anemia, purpura, myocarditis and arrhythmia, which can severely affect the health and life-quality of patients. Laboratory-tests play a vital role in the diagnosis and treatment of autoimmune diseases, with test items including a variety of biomarkers such as autoantibodies, special proteins, and immune cells. This article reviews the biomarkers related to autoimmune diseases that primarily affect the blood and circulatory system. It also aims to draw the attention of medical professionals to these biomarkers and their associated laboratory tests, and to promote their application in clinical practice.
