Comprehensive blood test measuring 8 nutrients potentially affected by inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Additional Information

This panel assesses vitamin A, vitamin B9 (folate), vitamin B12 (cobalamin), vitamin D, vitamin E, vitamin K, ferritin, and iron levels in your blood. These nutrients are crucial for overall health and can be impacted by IBD, hindering proper absorption. Testing helps identify deficiencies, enabling you and your doctor to determine if supplementation is necessary to improve your health and address IBD-related symptoms. Early detection and treatment of deficiencies are vital for preventing long-term health complications.

Biomarkers Tested (8)

Vitamin A (Retinol) (µg/dL)
Vitamin A is essential for vision, immune function, and skin health. Low levels can cause vision issues and immune deficiency.
B9 (ng/mL)
Vitamin B9 (Folate) is crucial for DNA synthesis and repair. Low levels can lead to anemia and other health issues.
B12 (pg/mL)
Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) is essential for red blood cell formation and neurological function. Deficiency can lead to anemia and nerve damage.
Vitamin D (ng/mL)
Vitamin D is essential for bone health and immune function. Deficiency can lead to bone disorders such as rickets or osteoporosis.
pH
Imbalances in gut pH influence short-chain fatty acid production and their effects.
Vitamin K (ng/mL)
Measures vitamin K levels in blood; essential for blood clotting and bone health.
Ferritin (ng/mL)
Ferritin is a protein that stores iron in the body. Low levels can indicate iron deficiency, while high levels may suggest iron overload or inflammation.
Iron (µg/dL)
Iron (Fe) is essential for hemoglobin production and oxygen transport. Low levels can lead to anemia, while high levels may indicate iron overload disorders.
