Three specimens — collected over 5 days — are examined for levels of estradiol, estrone, estriol, progesterone, the progesterone\/estradiol ratio (P\/E2), and testosterone. To enhance clinical utility, in addition to evaluating patient results against various healthy cohort reference ranges, a therapeutic cohort results cover page is provided for the clinician to quickly and conveniently observe where patient results fall in comparison to a cohort of peri\/menopausal women treated with bioidentical hormone therapy. The Menopause hormone test provides information about the impact that shifting hormone levels can have in women during perimenopause and menopause and in men during andropause (male menopause). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnalytes Tested:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEstradiol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEstriol\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEstrone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProgesterone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTestosterone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Genova","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45109634007337,"sku":"","price":399.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0715\/2615\/4537\/files\/Menopause_-GenovaKit_4126d0a4-0725-4c9c-9a83-ee2e9cacf0ee.png?v=1694101810"},{"product_id":"one-day-hormone-check™-genova-kit","title":"One Day Hormone Check™-Genova Kit","description":"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan size=\"3\" style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: This is a home collection test kit that will be mailed to you.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFasting Required:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYes \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLab:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGenova Diagnostics \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecimen:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSaliva \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResults:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAverage processing time 7-10 business days \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: Result turnaround times are an estimate and are not guaranteed.

In some patients, its use can cause abacavir sulfate hypersensitivity reaction (ABC HSR), a serious and sometimes fatal condition that appears within the first six weeks of treatment and is characterized by symptoms that appear suddenly and worsen with subsequent doses of abacavir. These symptoms include fatigue, rash, fever, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and respiratory symptoms, with fatal reactions often being associated with at least two of the above. Symptoms also generally improve within 48 to 72 hours of discontinuing abacavir treatment.Graves’ Disease is an autoimmune disease of the thyroid gland.

In the beginning, these symptoms are usually reversible, mild, and present as irritation of the mucosa and increased morbidity due to respiratory tract infections and asthma-like symptoms. Later, the disease may become chronic and the assessment of dampness and mold hypersensitivity syndrome (DMHS) may be warranted. DMHS presents with signs of irritation in the eyes, nose, and respiratory tract. Subsequently, the patient may experience recurrent sinusitis or bronchitis, and neurological manifestations such as headaches, nausea, and unexplained fatigue. Some may develop rheumatic symptoms resembling fibromyalgia or neurological symptoms which may progress into pain and\/or numbness in the legs and arms and the so-called “brain fog”. These patients have impaired cognition, inability to concentrate, and problems with both short- and long-term memories. Some patients develop new-onset asthma, or may present asthma-like conditions, such as dyspnea, burning sensation in the respiratory tract, and productive or nonproductive cough. The diagnosis of dampness and mold hypersensitivity syndrome (DMHS) is clinical and is based on the patient’s history and careful examination supplemented by risk assessment based on an HLA-DR test. A study has shown the following HLA gene combinations are implicated in mold hypersensitivity: HLA-DR7-DQ2-DR53; DR7-DQ3-DR53; DR13-DQ6-DR52; DR17-DQ2-DR52; and DR18-DQ4-DR52.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Kashi Clinical lab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45281450328361,"sku":"","price":299.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0715\/2615\/4537\/files\/DQ_-KashiClinicalLabKit.png?v=1694103023"},{"product_id":"mood-profile-kashi-clinical-lab-kit","title":"Mood Profile-Kashi Clinical Lab Kit","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"3\" style=\"font-size: medium;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNote: This is a test kit that will be mailed to you for an at home collection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFasting Required:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLab:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKashi Clinical Lab\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpecimen:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBuccal Swab\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eResults:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAverage processing time 5-7 business days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNote: Result turnaround times are an estimate and are not guaranteed.

Narcolepsy is caused by deficiencies in the hypothalamic neurotransmitter, hypocretin (also known as orexin), most likely through autoimmune-mediated cell death of the neurons producing this neurotransmitter. Hypocretin is a neuropeptide hormone that is responsible for controlling appetite and sleep patterns. Patients are typically booked for a sleep study to establish breathing, heart rate, brain activity, and other bodily functions during the night to determine abnormal patterns of sleep. Laboratory tests to diagnose narcolepsy are dependent on analysis of orexin levels in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which requires a highly invasive and painful lumbar puncture. Genetics can play an important role in certain patients with narcolepsy. One important predisposing genetic factor is the HLA-DQB1*06:02 allele in the DRB1*15:01-DQA1*01:02-DQB1*06:02 haplotype. Between 85 to 95 percent of narcoleptics with the symptom of sudden muscle weakness have this combination of alleles.

It inhibits the action of enzymes required for cross-linking of peptidoglycans in the bacterial cell wall, thus weakening the bacteria’s ability to maintain an osmotic gradient, which results in cell lysis. Despite its wide-usage, it also is responsible for a sizeable amount of adverse drug reactions (ADRs). This reaction can vary from a mild rash to life-threatening symptoms, such as anaphylaxis. Penicillin hypersensitivity is strongly associated with the presence of the HLA-B*55:01 allele in those with European ancestry. Due to the unpredictable and potentially severe nature of adverse drug reactions, it is recommended to consider testing for the presence of HLA-B*55:01 allele prior to initiating penicillin therapies. This test may also be used to further support a self-reported penicillin allergy. It is important to note that absence of the HLA-B*55:01 allele does not exclude a patient from possessing sensitivity to penicillin.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Kashi Clinical lab","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45281762672937,"sku":"","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0715\/2615\/4537\/files\/PenicillinHypersensitivy_HLA-B_55_01_-KashiClinicalLabKit_0265976d-fddd-4228-b12c-ab14aaf55a0e.png?v=1694101692"},{"product_id":"rheumatoid-arthritis-hla-dr4-kashi-clinical-lab-kit","title":"Rheumatoid Arthritis (HLA-DR4)-Kashi Clinical Lab Kit","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"3\" style=\"font-size: medium;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNote: This is a test kit that will be mailed to you for an at home collection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFasting Required:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLab:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eKashi Clinical Laboratories, Inc.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpecimen:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBuccal Swab\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eResults:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAverage processing time 5-7 business days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNote: Result turnaround times are an estimate and are not guaranteed.

The natural history of the condition is one of progressive articular damage leading to joint deformation and disabilities. RA is associated with a number of co-morbidities particularly in the cardiovascular system. The prevalence of RA seems to be relatively uniform around the world. The risk of developing RA does however vary between ethnic populations in the same global region, demonstrating a genetic component to this disease. The prevalence of RA in the general population is less than 1% but rises to between 2 – 4% in siblings of RA patients. Gender and genes largely determine a person’s risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis. While the specific cause of rheumatoid arthritis is unknown, it is believed that individuals with the HLA-DR1 or HLA-DR4 alleles have an increased risk for developing the disorder. However, genetics alone are not enough to diagnose rheumatoid arthritis; various lab tests, and x-rays, as well as characteristic signs and symptoms, are generally used to diagnose rheumatoid arthritis.

It is characterized by a progressive lymphoid and plasma cell infiltration of the salivary and tear glands, accompanied by the production of autoantibodies leading to mucosal (dry mouth) and conjunctival (dry eyes) dryness. Sjögren’s may occur alone (primary Sjögren’s) or secondary to other autoimmune disorders such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis. Primary Sjögren’s generally affects females (9\/10 patients are female) and has an onset at around age 40. The reasons for the gender bias are unknown though hormones such as prolactin have been implicated. Multiple genetic loci have been shown to contribute to the risk of developing Sjögren’s. Of these, the HLA class II DR and DQ are the most important. HLA-DQA1*05, DQB1*02, and DRB1*03 alleles are the risk factors for disease. Sjögren’s is diagnosed on the basis of screening questions, eye tests and salivary flow rate tests rather than on genetic testing.

Patients may present with a diverse array of different clinical manifestations including skin, joint, hematologic, neurologic, renal and other organ involvement. SLE is predominantly a female disease, affecting females and males in a ratio of 9:1. Onset in women is usually between puberty and menopause, while onset outside this range is less common. The exact etiology of SLE is unknown, though it is thought to have a genetic component as well as environmental and hormonal components. The genetic component of SLE is supported by twin and family studies. Population studies have revealed that susceptibility to SLE is associated with HLA DRB1*03:01. Individuals homozygous for DRB1*03:01 or compound heterozygous for DRB1*03:01 and DRB1*15:01 carry the highest risk.

It is well known that insulin’s primary role is to regulate glucose and lipid metabolism. SH2B1 deletion results in marked insulin and leptin resistance, obesity, and type 2 diabetes in mice as well as humans, indicating that SH2B1 is required for the maintenance of normal body weight, insulin sensitivity, and glucose metabolism.13 In addition, it has been consistently demonstrated that SNPs in the SH2B1 gene are associated with obesity and\/or BMI.

This panel is useful when retesting patients who have begun hormone therapy, but we encourage use of the Comprehensive Panel for initial evaluation. This is the minimal test recommended for symptoms that include: Men Experiencing: Decreased libido Erectile dysfunction Loss of stamina Decrease in mental sharpness Reduced muscle size Tearful episodes or increased moodiness Metabolic syndrome Prostate enlargement or cancer Hot flashes Irritability Women Experiencing: Hot flashes Anxiety\/Depression Night sweats Breast tenderness Irritability Forgetfulness Irregular menstrual cycles Vaginal dryness Urinary incontinence Uterine fibroids Increased facial \/ body hair Acne Estrogens: There are three forms made by the body: estrone, estradiol and estriol. The form used in past hormone replacement therapies is estradiol, often in the form of concentrated pregnant mare’s urine (premarin). It is a proliferative (causes growth) hormone that grows the lining of the uterus. It is also a known cancer-causing hormone: breast and endometrial (uterine) in women and prostate gland in men. It will treat menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, insomnia and memory-loss. With the bio-identical formulas estriol is matched with estradiol (biest) to provide protective effects and additional estrogenic benefits. The other major protector in keeping estradiol from running amok is progesterone. Estrone and estriol are also useful hormones to test. Progesterone: Called the anti-estrogen because it balances estradiol’s proliferative effects. It is considered preventive for breast and prostate cancers as well as osteoporosis. In addition, too little progesterone promotes depression, irritability, increased inflammation, irregular menses, breast tenderness, urinary frequency and prostate gland enlargement (BPH). Testosterone: An anabolic hormone (builds tissue) that is essential for men and women. The proper level of testosterone is necessary for bone health, muscle strength, stamina, sex drive and performance, heart function and mental focus. DHEA: An important adrenal gland hormone, which is essential for energy production and blood sugar balance. DHEA is a precursor to other hormones, mainly testosterone. Cortisol: Your waking day hormone (highest in the morning and lowest at night). It is necessary for energy production, blood sugar metabolism, anti-inflammatory effects and stress response.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Labrix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45283217539369,"sku":"","price":199.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0715\/2615\/4537\/files\/BasicHormoneProfile-LabrixKit_c3b54626-3e26-45ce-9e7e-38ad211b1bba.png?v=1694101618"},{"product_id":"cortisol-awakening-response-car-labrix-kit","title":"Cortisol Awakening Response (CAR) Doctor's Data","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan size=\"3\" style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: This is a home collection test kit that will be mailed to you.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFasting Required:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecimen:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSaliva, 3 timed collections\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLab:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLabrix\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eResults:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAverage processing time 3-5 business days\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote: Result turnaround times are an estimate and are not guaranteed.

The abbreviated adrenal panel that includes DHEA and the AM and PM cortisol levels provides a brief assessment of the level of involvement of adrenal dysfunction. Additionally, this condensed panel (like the Basic Hormone Panel) is often used for re-evaluation 2-3 months after hormone replacement has begun to monitor therapeutic values. The Short Comprehensive Panel should be ordered if the patient is suffering from: Fatigue Sleep disturbances Family history of breast cancer Brain fog Estrogens: There are three forms made by the body: estrone, estradiol and estriol. The form used in past hormone replacement therapies is estradiol, often in the form of concentrated pregnant mare’s urine (premarin). It is a proliferative (causes growth) hormone that grows the lining of the uterus. It is also a known cancer-causing hormone: breast and endometrial (uterine) in women and prostate gland in men. It will treat menopausal symptoms like hot flashes, insomnia and memory-loss. With the bio-identical formulas estriol is matched with estradiol (biest) to provide protective effects and additional estrogenic benefits. The other major protector in keeping estradiol from running amok is progesterone. Estrone and estriol are also useful hormones to test. Progesterone: Called the anti-estrogen because it balances estradiol’s proliferative effects. It is considered preventive for breast and prostate cancers as well as osteoporosis. In addition, too little progesterone promotes depression, irritability, increased inflammation, irregular menses, breast tenderness, urinary frequency and prostate gland enlargement (BPH). Testosterone: An anabolic hormone (builds tissue) that is essential for men and women. The proper level of testosterone is necessary for bone health, muscle strength, stamina, sex drive and performance, heart function and mental focus. DHEA: An important adrenal gland hormone, which is essential for energy production and blood sugar balance. DHEA is a precursor to other hormones, mainly testosterone. Cortisol: Your waking day hormone (highest in the morning and lowest at night). It is necessary for energy production, blood sugar metabolism, anti-inflammatory effects and stress response.\u003c\/span\u003e","brand":"Labrix","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45286688194857,"sku":"","price":255.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0715\/2615\/4537\/files\/ShortComprehensiveProfile-LabrixKit_cccf29d6-0faa-420d-afd1-3fd629382af8.png?v=1694101574"},{"product_id":"womens-health-and-breast-profile-labrix-kit","title":"Doctor's Data Comprehensive Plus Hormone Panel","description":"\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan size=\"3\" style=\"font-size: medium;\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNote: This is a home collection test kit that will be mailed to you.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFasting Required:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNo\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSpecimen:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e4 Saliva Samples\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLab:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLabrix\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eResults:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAverage processing time 3-5 business day\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNote: Result turnaround times are an estimate and are not guaranteed.

Labrix offers the Women’s Health and Breast Panel as an accurate, non-invasive tool to advance risk prevention and support you in providing exceptional care to your patients. The Women’s Health and Breast Panel evaluates foundational hormone and adrenal status. This panel provides an in-depth look at estrogen levels, conversion patterns and offers two risk assessment ratios (Estrogen Quotient and PG\/E2 Ratio) and also a customized women’s health and breast health specific interpretation. This additional clinical information is essential to further the conversation with your patients about targeted treatment options such as BHRT, nutraceutical and herbal supplementation, as well as potential lifestyle modifications.
