Technical Information: The new GI Effects Profile uses stool samples, based on “culture and molecular” techniques. With this technology, we can identify an unlimited number of parasites with excellent accuracy, as it is what we call the “gold standard” for a given evaluation (parasites), while the PCR technique provides a broad evaluation of anaerobic bacteria in the intestinal microflora. It helps differentiate and discriminate active from inactive for Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis, and infections. It also analyzes the marker CALPROTECTIN, BD (Inflammatory Bowel Disease) and Eosinophil protein (EPX).

Technical information: Prostate cancer is a malignant alteration, which presents accelerated growth and high infiltration power, leading to the occurrence of metastases, in case of late diagnosis, or progression of localized disease. The 4Kscore is a blood test that incorporates four prostate protein biomarkers, along with clinical patient information, to determine the risk of high-grade and aggressive prostate cancer (Gleason ≥7). Additionally, the 4Kscore test allows to assess the risk of high-grade prostate cancer and whether or not digital rectal examination data is available. Therefore, patients with suspected aggressive prostate cancer can safely have their risk better defined by the 4Kscore test, even if the digital rectal examination has not been performed recently.

Collection Instr. ………….: Fasting not required.

Technical Information: The FOOD INTOLERANCE panel allows you to analyze 59, 90 or 220 foods and food additives through a blood sample, which can be collected conventionally or through a digital capillary blood drop.

– Be fasting for at least 8 hours due to morning urine collection. If you wake up early in the morning to urinate out of habit or because you are taking medication, collect urine after 2 a.m., even if you have not fasted for 8 hours. Freeze the bottle until you can send it to the laboratory.

– Do not consume any type of alcoholic beverage during the 24 hours preceding the collection.

– Decrease the consumption of liquids in generation to avoid excessive dilution of the urine, water, soups, fruits with a lot of liquid (melon, watermelon, etc), juices, yogurts, soft drinks, etc. NEVER WASH OR WET THE TUBE.

Technical Information: With a simple urine sample, the Estronex profile assesses the following ratios of critical estrogen metabolites: 2:16 ratio > 2-OHE1 to 16αOHE / 2:2 ratio > 2-OHE1 to 2-MeOE (2- Methoxyoestradiol). Studies have shown that assessment of the ratio of these metabolites provides important indication of risk for the future development of estrogen-dependent cancers. Studies also show that this risk is modifiable.

Technical information: Composed of the ASH TEST, NASH TEST, FIBRO TEST, ACTI TEST and STEATO TEST, as describedabove, this profile provides a rich and non-invasive liver analysis, providing the possibility of early diagnosis and prevention of pathological prognosis. 

AshTest is a faster procedure for concluding cases of Acute Steatohepatitis (ASH), and provides an important tool for developing therapies to treat the disease, in order to seek case improvement and alternatives to liver transplantation, an extreme measure in some cases.

NashTest evaluates the presence or absence of Non-Alcoholic Hepatic Steatosis and, when combined with the performance of FibroTest, is able to demonstrate the value of Nash screening in patients with metabolic risk factors.

FibroTest is a test that is highly recommended by health authorities around the world. The test is intended to measure levels of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis, and is the only study that can classify the early stages of fibrosis.

With ActiTest, together with FibroTest, it is possible to identify asymptomatic carriers of Hepatitis B and to detect more effective treatments, and it is essential to evaluate the progression of this disease.

SteatoTest measures the level of steatosis in the body, which is the increased accumulation of fat in the liver. The test is primarily targeted at patients who are at high metabolic risk, excessive alcohol consumers, or chronic carriers of hepatitis B or C. With this quantitative steatosis test, it is possible to monitor patients in order to follow the progression or regression of the case, offering the professional who attends them a tool to develop treatments that will enable the normalization of this condition.

Write down, in the corresponding space, the times of your baths. If there is no routine, write down the bath times on the collection day;

The collection times, designated by the doctor, must be respected, so that the results are not compromised.

Collection procedures 

1-Rinse your mouth with water 15 minutes before performing the collection; 

2-Open the collection kit and get the conical tubes;

3-Accumulate a good amount of saliva in your mouth. The saliva should come only from the mouth. Do not force any secretion out of the throat;

4-Open the tube and discard the saliva inside it, until it reaches the 5 mL mark;

5-Check if the volume of saliva reached the 5mL mark. If not, repeat the procedure;

6-Cap the tube tightly and note the date and time of collection in the white quadrant located on the tube itself. Make sure you write down the date and time of the collection correctly, as this data is essential for the good execution of the test;

7- Place the tube in the freezer until the moment it is removed by the carrier. If the collector is performing the procedure with you, just hand the tube to her;
