- At the end of analysis to add your overall notes about the test and/or client.
- Insights tab in Immune System Analysis section
- Shows logic for each % likelihood of Immune System Abnormality pattern.
Enhancements
- Changed name of Platelets Analysis to Coagulation Analysis panel
- Added Fibrinogen bar graph to Coagulation Analysis panel
- Fibrinogen is needed to make fibrin which binds to platelets to form a blood clot.
- Fibrinogen bar graph is currently in the Inflammation / Oxidative Stress Analysis panel because it’s an acute-phase reactant and is quickly elevated in times of inflammation.
- Added Globulin bar graph to Immune System Analysis panel.
- Globulin is needed to make immunoglobulins.
- Immunoglobulins are used by the immune system to identify and neutralize pathogens.
- Used in the calculation for the Immune System Abnormality likelihood gauge.
- Future use in rules to identify Possible Root Causes of Immune System Abnormality.
- Added Alkaline Phosphatase bar graph to Immune System Analysis panel.
- Alkaline phosphatase is an indirect measurement of zinc.
- Zinc is needed to activate T cells.
- T cells control and regulate immune responses and neutralize pathogens.
- Currently used in the calculation for the Immune System Abnormality likelihood gauge.
- Future use in rules to identify Possible Root Causes of Immune System Abnormality.
- Added Ferritin bar graph to Inflammation / Oxidative Stress Analysis panel.
- Ferritin is an acute-phase reactant.
- Elevated ferritin is a strong indicator of inflammation.
- See Item 1 Under Optimal Min and Max: https://labsmarts.com/bibliography/#ferritin
- When ferritin is found and measured in serum, it has leaked from damaged liver cells.
- Ferritin loses most of its iron while in the serum.
- The iron is in an unliganded form that causes serious damage to cells.
