Gut/Ox Stress

What this laboratory test evaluates

This test examines the interplay of oxidative stress with markers of gut function and dysbiosis. The analytes trace the path of gut perturbation influenced by oxidative stress, inflammation in the gut and systemically, and the weakening of tight junctions between cells in the intestines (“leaky gut”) in a patient. Having this sort of comprehensive surveillance of gut and oxidative health together can be a game changer for diagnosis and treatment of some of the most difficult to analyze root causes in a patient.

How Sunridge uses laboratory information

Sunridge considers the medical question, symptoms, history, medications, prior results, and whether the finding could change care before recommending testing. A laboratory result is not interpreted in isolation and does not establish a diagnosis by itself.
