Inflammation Insight
Are you struggling with unexplained fatigue or discomfort? You’re not alone, and we’re here to help.” What you are feeling could be signs of low grade inflammation which is a chronic response to diseases, injuries, toxins and foreign invaders.
Without proper diagnosis and treatment, these symptoms can worsen and develop into an autoimmune disease.”
Find out if you are at risk.
Fatigue and Inflammation Panel
Comprehensive metabolic panel: Comprehensive metabolic panel is a useful quick screen that gives us key information about your kidney, liver, chemical and metabolic balance.
Complete blood count: Complete blood count measures the levels of different components in your blood to help diagnose and monitor conditions like anemia, leukemia, bleeding disorders, and inflammation
HgA1c: Shows how your metabolic system has been working over the past 90 days and helps us understand your risk of developing diabetes.
Lipid panel: Measures the levels of cholesterol and fats in your blood and includes ratios that help us understand your risk for coronary artery disease.
Homocysteine: An amino acid measured to help diagnose vitamin deficiencies and evaluate the increased risk of dementia, heart disease, and stroke
HSCRP: is a marker of inflammation that can predict the risk of heart disease, stroke and Peripheral artery disease
ESR: non-specific measure of inflammation which can occur as a result of an injury, infection or other medical condition
ANA with reflex to titer: Detects your potential to develop an autoimmune disease by measuring the number of antibodies in your blood and identifying possible autoimmune patterns you might be susceptible to
Iron: Iron is a mineral essential for growth and development. Your body uses iron to make certain hormones and hemoglobin, a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body.
Ferritin: is a protein in cells that stores iron. The amount of ferritin in your blood indicates the amount of iron stored in your body.
Vitamin D: is a fat soluble vitamin responsible for increasing intestinal absorption of calcium, magnesium, and phosphate, and for many other biological effects such as sleep and hormone production
Vitamin B12: B12 is a nutrient that helps keep your body’s blood and nerve cells healthy and helps make DNA
Insulin: This is a hormone that increases before changes in your blood sugar and other hormones are seen. High fasting insulin levels can indicate poor metabolic health, which affects your hormones
DHEA: Measures your body’s natural steroid hormone precursor, which produces other important hormones like testosterone and estrogen.
Cortisol: A screening test for your morning peak cortisol (your body’s main stress hormone). This hormone helps manage stress and converts protein to glucose to maintain blood sugar levels
TSH: Command signal from your pituitary to your thyroid to secrete thyroid hormones (T4 and T3)
Free T4: Secreted by your thyroid it is a inactive hormone and circulates around the body until activated
Free T3: Converted From T4, FT3 is your bioactive thyroid hormone and is a predominant inhibitor of TSH secretion
Thyroid peroxidase antibodies and Thyroglobulin antibodies: Markers of your own immune system attacking your own thyroid tissue such as in Graves and Hashimottos
Autoimmune Insight
Scl 70: Detects the presence of antibodies related to an autoimmune condition Systemic sclerosis
Anti SSA & SSB: Detects the presence of antibodies related to a autoimmune conditions Systemic lupus Erythematosus and Sjogren
Anti RNP Antibody: An autoantibody that targets the double-stranded structure of DNA, commonly associated with systemic lupus erythematosus and other autoimmune
DS Anti DNA: an autoantibody associated with mixed connective tissue disease, lupus and other autoimmune disorder
Rheumatoid Factor: an autoantibody is commonly associated with rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune disorders.
Celiac panel screen: Screening for an autoimmune disorder where ingestion of gluten leads to damage in the small intestine, causing malabsorption of nutrients and various gastrointestinal and systemic symptoms.
