Abstract:

The latest literature data on quantitative and qualitative changes in the indices of the cellular immune elements at the local and systemic level in endometriosis are summarized. The main mechanisms of involvement of immunity components in pathogenesis of the disease are considered. The possibilities of using immune system cells as noninvasive biosensors in the diagnosis of endometriosis are analyzed, which can contribute to the creation of a simple, accessible and informative diagnostic test.

Keywords:

endometriosis
diagnostics
biomarkers
immune system cells
peripheral blood
peritoneal fluid
