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.

The Prealbumin Test measures levels of prealbumin, a protein made by the liver that reflects short-term nutritional status. Low levels may indicate malnutrition, liver disease, inflammation, or chronic illness, while high levels may be linked to kidney disease or steroid use. Doctors use this test to assess protein-calorie nutrition, monitor patients receiving nutritional support, and guide treatment for conditions affecting metabolism and recovery.
The Vitamin B2 Test measures riboflavin levels in the blood to assess nutritional status. Riboflavin is essential for energy metabolism, red blood cell production, and maintaining healthy skin, eyes, and nerves. Low levels may result from poor diet, malabsorption, or chronic illness, leading to fatigue, mouth sores, or anemia. Doctors use this test to detect deficiency, monitor supplementation, and support overall metabolic and nutritional health.
The Vitamin B5 Test measures pantothenic acid levels in the blood to assess nutritional status and detect deficiencies. Vitamin B5 is essential for energy metabolism, hormone production, and synthesis of coenzyme A. Low levels may cause fatigue, irritability, digestive upset, or neurological issues, often linked to poor diet or malabsorption. Doctors use this test to confirm deficiency, guide supplementation, and monitor overall metabolic and nutritional health.
The Protein & Amino Acid Utilization Panel — Comprehensive provides an in-depth evaluation of how protein and amino acids are absorbed and used at the metabolic level. By combining plasma amino acid analysis, prealbumin, IGF-1, functional markers, vitamin B12 and folate, creatinine, and a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel, this panel delivers a clear view of protein utilization, nutritional status, and metabolic efficiency.
The Vitamin B1 Plasma/Serum Test measures thiamine levels in blood to evaluate nutritional status and detect deficiencies. Thiamine is essential for energy metabolism, nerve function, and muscle health. Low levels may result from poor diet, alcoholism, malabsorption, or chronic illness and can lead to conditions like beriberi or Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. Doctors use this test to confirm deficiency and monitor supplementation or therapy effectiveness.
The Vitamin C Test measures blood levels of vitamin C (ascorbic acid), an essential nutrient for immune defense, wound healing, collagen production, and antioxidant protection. Low levels may indicate poor diet, malabsorption, or scurvy, while high levels may occur with excess supplementation. Doctors order this test for patients with fatigue, bleeding gums, or poor wound healing. Results help assess nutritional status and guide treatment or dietary adjustments.
