The Erythropoietin (EPO) Test measures levels of erythropoietin, a hormone made by the kidneys that stimulates red blood cell production. Abnormal levels may indicate anemia, chronic kidney disease, or bone marrow disorders. Elevated EPO can also occur with low oxygen levels or tumors. Doctors order this test for patients with unexplained fatigue, shortness of breath, or abnormal blood counts. Results help guide diagnosis, treatment, and monitoring of anemia-related conditions.

The Fecal Globin by Immunochemistry Test detects hidden (occult) blood in stool using antibodies that identify human globin protein. This test helps screen for colorectal cancer, polyps, ulcers, and gastrointestinal bleeding. Doctors order it when patients have anemia, abdominal pain, or changes in bowel habits. Results provide early detection of digestive tract bleeding, guiding further evaluation with colonoscopy or other diagnostic procedures.

The Ferritin Test measures ferritin, a protein that stores iron in the body, to evaluate iron levels and detect deficiency or overload. It helps diagnose anemia, iron deficiency, hemochromatosis, and chronic disease-related inflammation. Doctors often order the ferritin test to investigate fatigue, weakness, or unexplained symptoms. It is also used to monitor iron supplementation, treatment effectiveness, and overall iron metabolism health.

The Antioxidants Micronutrients Panel measures key antioxidants; Alpha Tocopherol, Beta Gamma Tocopherol, Coenzyme Q10, Vitamin A, and Vitamin C to evaluate the body’s defense against oxidative stress. These nutrients support immune health, cellular protection, energy production, and overall wellness. The test helps detect deficiencies or imbalances that may affect long-term health and disease prevention.

Patient must be 18 years of age or older.

The Folate Micronutrient Test measures blood folate levels to assess nutritional status and detect deficiencies. Folate is essential for DNA synthesis, red blood cell production, and proper fetal development. This test helps identify dietary insufficiency, malabsorption issues, or increased nutrient needs, supporting the diagnosis and management of anemia, pregnancy health, and overall wellness.

Patient must be 18 years of age or older.

The Folate Serum Test measures folate (vitamin B9) levels in blood to evaluate nutritional status and overall health. Low folate may cause anemia, fatigue, weakness, or pregnancy complications, while high levels may reflect supplementation. Doctors order this test to investigate unexplained anemia, monitor prenatal health, or assess dietary deficiencies. It provides valuable insight into red blood cell production, metabolism, and nutritional balance.

The Gliadin Deamidated Peptide IgA Antibody Test detects IgA antibodies against deamidated gliadin peptides, highly specific markers for celiac disease. Elevated levels indicate an immune reaction to gluten and may suggest intestinal damage. Doctors use this blood test to help diagnose celiac disease, evaluate unexplained digestive issues, or monitor adherence to a gluten-free diet. It is often ordered alongside tTG IgA and total IgA testing for accuracy.

The Gliadin Deamidated Peptide IgG IgA Antibodies Test detects both IgG and IgA antibodies against deamidated gliadin peptides, highly specific markers for celiac disease. Elevated results indicate an autoimmune reaction to gluten that can damage the small intestine. Doctors use this test to confirm suspected celiac disease, evaluate unexplained digestive issues, or monitor compliance with a gluten-free diet, often alongside tTG and other celiac antibody tests.

The Gliadin Deamidated Peptide IgG Antibody Test detects IgG antibodies to deamidated gliadin peptides, helping diagnose celiac disease in patients with IgA deficiency or gluten-related disorders.
