Preventive Laboratory Tests
In the field of Functional Medicine, it is advisable to perform specialized preventive examinations in high-level laboratory centers. Therefore, our practice collaborates with pioneering laboratories.
You can acquire information about your genes and discover how your genetic background and lifestyle ultimately influence your health. These tests can reveal your predisposition to specific diseases, allowing you to focus on preventive measures.
The levels of total IgG antibodies against potentially allergenic foods are measured in the blood. Patients are also checked for celiac disease, gluten intolerance, lactose intolerance, and histamine intolerance.
It sheds light on the etiology and pathogenesis of chronic diseases, which are directly or indirectly related to the imbalance of the intestinal flora. Such conditions include gastrointestinal diseases such as irritable bowel syndrome, gastroesophageal reflux disease, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, colorectal cancer, celiac disease, obesity, as well as pathological conditions such as allergies, food intolerances, autism spectrum disorders, headaches and migraines, rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases, fibromyalgia, psoriasis, arthritis and myalgias, chronic fatigue syndrome, diabetes mellitus, and certain liver diseases.
The disturbance in the balance of vaginal microorganisms leads to a condition called vaginal dysbiosis, which, in turn, results in the occurrence of vaginal infections and disruptions in women's reproductive health.
Oxidative stress has been associated with numerous diseases and conditions, such as aging, neurodegenerative diseases (Parkinson's, Alzheimer's, dementia, etc.), the development of various forms of cancer, liver diseases, kidney diseases, lung diseases, cardiovascular diseases, infertility, and many others.
It includes laboratory tests for monitoring micro and macronutrient elements in the body, such as vitamins, amino acids, fatty acids, as well as the analysis of organic acids in urine.
The prevention of cardiovascular diseases is of utmost importance. The screening includes various classical indicators such as cholesterol and triglycerides, as well as innovative tests such as oxidized cholesterol, leptin, and lipoprotein-associated phospholipase A2.
A very important test, as the pathological alteration of even a single hormone can lead to a cascade of events that may affect many other hormones. Hormones influence the overall functions of the human body.
Disruptions in the immune system function result in the development of infections, autoimmune diseases, allergies, and cancer. With appropriate tests, both natural and acquired immunity, as well as humoral and cellular immunity, can be assessed.
Heavy metals can cause damage to the central nervous system, cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal system, lungs, kidneys, liver, endocrine glands, and bones. The goal is the detection of multiple metals with high sensitivity and accuracy.
Various conditions such as stress, infections, poor diet, toxins, and genetic background have a direct impact on the functioning of the nervous system and neurotransmitters. Monitoring neurotransmitters is important as any imbalance in them can lead to the manifestation of various psychological and physical disorders.
In order for cells to function smoothly, it is crucial that the pH of the body is regulated within strict limits. Through laboratory tests, the acid-base balance of the organism as well as specific systems within it are monitored.
