Random urine iodine test to assess thyroid function.

Specialty biomarker testing measures advanced markers that go beyond standard blood panels to provide deeper insight into specific biological pathways. These tests are commonly used in functional and integrative medicine to identify root causes of symptoms, assess cellular health, and guide personalized treatment protocols. Markers like IGF-1 reflect growth hormone activity and aging, lipoprotein(a) reveals inherited cardiovascular risk invisible to standard lipid panels, and neurotransmitter profiles can explain mood and cognitive symptoms. Results enable highly targeted interventions that standard tests would miss.

Preparation Required

Fasting may be required depending on the specific marker. Follow your clinic's instructions. Some tests require morning samples for accurate results. Bring a list of all supplements — many affect these markers.

Biomarkers Tested

3
Creatinine mg/dL

A waste product from normal muscle metabolism, filtered by the kidneys. Blood creatinine levels reflect kidney filtration capacity. Elevated levels may indicate impaired kidney function, dehydration, or excessive muscle breakdown.

Urine Iodine µg/L

Iodine is an essential trace element and an integral component of thyroid hormones. Thyroid hormones are required for normal growth and development of tissues and maturation of our bodies. Approximately 80% of iodine is excreted in the urine, making it a good marker of the previous day's intake.

Urine Iodine (corrected) µg/L

Iodine levels can be adjusted for urine dilution using creatinine. This adjustment accounts for differences in urine volume or concentration and allows for a more accurate assessment of iodine status.
