Food Allergy Screening Panel
The Food Allergy Screening Panel assesses the presence of specific immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies in your blood. These antibodies are produced by the immune system in response to specific food allergens. Although IgE antibodies are generally present in low concentrations, elevated levels may signify an allergic reaction.
FIT Colorectal Cancer Screening Test
The FIT test is a home-based fecal immunochemical screening assay intended to identify concealed blood in the stool, a potential early indicator of colorectal cancer. This test serves as the initial stage of the screening process, although it is not employed for the diagnosis of colorectal cancer.
H. Pylori Screening
This diagnostic test identifies the presence of Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a bacterium associated with digestive disorders. Untreated, H. pylori infection can result in ulcers and increase the risk of stomach cancer. Symptoms of infection include abdominal distension, discomfort, nausea, and fatigue.
Hepatitis C Confirmation Test
This diagnostic test facilitates the verification of a hepatitis C infection (HCV) and monitors the progression of its treatment. Hepatitis C is a severe viral infection transmitted through contact with contaminated blood or blood products. Individuals exhibiting symptoms suggestive of liver disease or having potential exposure to HCV may benefit from this test, which can either confirm the diagnosis or evaluate the efficacy of their ongoing treatment regimen.
Vitamin B12 and Folate Screening
This diagnostic test evaluates the levels of Vitamin B12 and Folate, vital nutrients essential for the formation of red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), tissue and cell repair, and DNA synthesis. As the body lacks the capacity to synthesize these vitamins, they must be obtained through dietary sources or supplementation.
Vitamin B12 Screening
Vitamin B12 deficiency may not manifest in apparent symptoms, but it can also result in anemia or nerve damage. Common symptoms associated with these conditions include fatigue, weakness, impaired concentration, depression, numbness or tingling in the extremities, headaches, irritability, and gastrointestinal issues.
