    • Measures how quickly RBCs settle out of anticoagulated blood in one hour.
    • Different ranges for over and under 50 years of age for each gender.
    • Bar graph added to Inflammation Analysis panel.
    • Non-specific measurement of inflammation.
  • Notes tab
    • In each analysis section to add your own notes specific to that section.
    • Practitioner Notes
      • 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.
            • 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.
