The Zinc Deficiency Comprehensive Evaluation Panel panel contains 11 tests with 69 biomarkers .
The Zinc Deficiency Comprehensive Evaluation Panel is designed to provide an in-depth assessment of zinc levels and related health parameters, which is crucial for diagnosing and managing zinc deficiency and its potential implications on overall health. The panel includes the following tests that are beneficial for someone with zinc deficiency:
- Plasma Zinc Level: This test measures the concentration of zinc in the plasma portion of the blood. It offers a more stable indicator of zinc status compared to serum zinc levels, as it's less influenced by recent food intake. This test is critical for accurately diagnosing zinc deficiency.
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): The CBC is used to evaluate overall blood health, detecting anemia and other blood disorders that are common in nutritional deficiencies. Signs such as low red blood cell count can indicate anemia, which might be linked to insufficient zinc, affecting its role in cellular metabolism and immune function.
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP): This panel tests liver and kidney function, along with electrolytes, blood proteins, and glucose levels. Specifically, albumin levels are measured, which can influence total serum zinc levels. Low albumin can suggest poor nutritional status and can be a secondary indicator of zinc deficiency impacting liver function.
- Iron and Ferritin Levels: These tests measure the body's iron stores and circulating iron, which are important because zinc and iron metabolism are interconnected. Zinc deficiency can alter iron status, leading to symptoms like fatigue and weakness, similar to anemia.
- Copper Levels: Zinc and copper are antagonistic in absorption and utilization; thus, assessing copper levels is essential, especially to ensure that high zinc intake doesn't lead to copper deficiency, which could complicate or mimic the symptoms of zinc deficiency.
- Vitamin A Levels: Zinc is essential for mobilizing vitamin A from the liver to the bloodstream; hence, a deficiency in zinc could impair vitamin A transport, affecting vision and immune responses. Testing for vitamin A levels helps assess whether zinc deficiency is impacting this critical function.
- Magnesium Levels: Magnesium, like zinc, is crucial for numerous enzymatic processes and overall nerve and muscle function. Testing for magnesium can help identify broader mineral imbalances that might be contributing to symptoms associated with zinc deficiency.
- Inflammatory Markers (CRP): Chronic inflammation can deplete nutrient reserves or affect their metabolism. Measuring C-reactive protein (CRP) helps determine if inflammation is a contributing factor to the observed symptoms and zinc usage in the body.
- Vitamin D Levels: This nutrient is vital for immune function and bone health, which can also be compromised by zinc deficiency. Assessing vitamin D levels can provide insights into the broader impact of zinc status on immune efficiency and skeletal health.
- Folate and Vitamin B12 Levels: These nutrients are essential for proper red blood cell formation and neurological function. Deficiencies in folate and B12 can exacerbate symptoms of weakness and cognitive impairment, often seen in zinc-deficient individuals.
This comprehensive evaluation is instrumental for those experiencing symptoms of zinc deficiency, offering critical insights into various aspects of health that zinc impacts directly or indirectly. It guides effective treatment and management strategies by providing a holistic view of the patient's nutritional and metabolic status.
