Personalized medicine? What it is?

Would you like the treatment prescribed by a cardiologist, took into account your genetic predisposition to a number of cardiovascular diseases? Do you think it is impossible? And here is possible!

It was the genetic health passport that contains information on the features of the DNA structure, individual predisposition to a number of hereditary diseases, underlie the Pustomized Medicine of the XXI century.

Personalized medicine is an organization of medical care based on the selection of diagnostic, medical and preventive facilities for a particular person, taking into account its genetic, physiological, biochemical and other features.

In other words, it is nothing more than an individual approach to a specific patient, recommendations for him and his attending physician for the prevention of diseases with increased risk.

For example, for estimating cardiovascular risk, such indicators as age, gender, blood pressure level, level of indicators of the lipid blood spectrum, the presence of diabetes, chronic kidney disease, smoking, etc. are mainly used.

What else will help personalized medicine?

With such a problem as the development of adverse reactions during treatment or lack of efficiency of drugs. This is due to the fact that it is the genetic peculiarities of patients to the greatest extent define a "pharmacological response" to the use of drugs and, above all, the development of undesirable drug reactions. One of the main tasks of personalized medicine is to avoid unwanted side effects in the treatment process.

This approach will allow to predict the possibility of developing diseases, the features of their flow and the likelihood of complications individually for each patient.

In this regard, in the Astrakhan Clinical Hospital of FGBUZ YOMTS FMBA Russia is actively working on the study and development of new methods making personalized medicine reality.
