Root Cause Protocol 1 by i-Screen

Comprehensive blood test to understand your body's health.

Additional Information

This blood test panel provides a detailed overview of various aspects of your health, including haemoglobin levels, iron studies (iron, transferrin, transferrin saturation, ferritin), copper and zinc levels, and urate levels. It helps identify potential deficiencies or imbalances that may contribute to underlying health issues. Understanding these markers can inform lifestyle changes and targeted interventions to improve overall well-being. The results are useful for assessing oxygen-carrying capacity, iron status, trace mineral balance, and risk of gout.

Biomarkers Tested (9)

Haemoglobin (g/dL)

A good measure of your blood's ability to carry oxygen throughout your body. Elevated haemoglobin can be an indicator of lung disease, whilst a low result indicates anaemia.

Iron (Fe) (µg/dL)

An essential trace element is necessary for forming healthy red blood cells and for some enzymes.

Transferrin (mg/dL)

Transferrin is a protein that binds and transports iron in the blood. Abnormal levels can indicate iron metabolism disorders.

Transferrin saturation (%)

Transferrin saturation measures the percentage of transferrin bound with iron, indicating iron status. Abnormal levels can indicate iron deficiency or overload.

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.

Copper (Cu) (µg/dL)

Found in organ meats, shellfish, chocolate, mushrooms, nuts, beans, and whole-grain cereals. Helps protect cells from damage, and is needed for forming bone and red blood cells.

Zinc (Zn) (µg/dL)

Found in liver, eggs, seafood, red meats, oysters, certain seafood, milk products, eggs, beans, peas, lentils, nuts and whole grains. Needed for healthy skin, wound healing, and helps fight illnesses and infections.

Caeruloplasmin (mg/dL)

Ceruloplasmin is a carrier protein that transports more than 95% of copper in the blood. Low caeruloplasmin combined with low blood copper suggest copper deficiency.

Urate (µmol/L)

If too much urate is produced or not enough is excreted, it can accumulate and lead to gout – an inflammation that occurs in joints.
