The Zinc Test measures zinc levels in blood to evaluate nutritional status and overall health. Zinc is essential for immune function, wound healing, growth, taste, and reproductive health. Abnormal levels may cause fatigue, hair loss, delayed healing, or increased infection risk. Doctors use this test to detect zinc deficiency or excess, monitor supplementation, and guide treatment for conditions linked to immune, metabolic, or endocrine imbalance.

The Zinc Micronutrient Test measures blood zinc levels to evaluate nutritional status and detect deficiencies or excess. Zinc is vital for immune function, wound healing, growth, reproduction, and enzyme activity. This test helps identify poor intake, malabsorption, or excessive supplementation, supporting diagnosis and management of overall health, immune balance, and metabolic function.

Patient must be 18 years of age or older.

The Zinc Protoporphyrin (ZPP) Test measures ZPP levels in red blood cells to detect iron deficiency and lead exposure. When iron is low or lead interferes with hemoglobin production, ZPP accumulates, making it a sensitive early marker. Doctors use this test to screen for iron-deficiency anemia, monitor occupational lead exposure, and evaluate unexplained anemia, helping guide diagnosis, prevention, and treatment strategies.

The Zinc RBC Test measures zinc levels inside red blood cells, providing a more accurate reflection of long-term zinc status than serum tests. Zinc is vital for immune defense, wound healing, growth, and enzyme function. Deficiency may cause hair loss, poor healing, or weakened immunity, while excess may be toxic. Doctors order this test to evaluate nutritional status, chronic illness, or suspected deficiency. Results guide supplementation and overall health management.

The Zinc Transporter 8 Antibody Test detects autoantibodies targeting the ZnT8 protein, a marker associated with autoimmune diabetes, including type 1 diabetes and latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA). These antibodies appear early in disease development and can help distinguish autoimmune diabetes from type 2 diabetes. This test provides insight into pancreatic autoimmunity, beta cell damage, and progression of autoimmune disorders.

The Medication Related Nutrient Check measures Ferritin, Iron, Total Iron Binding Capacity (TIBC), Vitamin B6, Zinc, and Prealbumin to assess nutrients that medications may lower over time. These tests help identify nutrient-related contributors to fatigue, weakness, nerve symptoms, and poor nutrition associated with long-term medication use.
