Reclaim Panel 1 Blood Test

What is the purpose of this test?

Order this Reclaim Panel 1 Blood Test, which consists of basic functional medicine lab tests to screen for underlying autoimmune thyroid & chronic disorders. Functional medicine is a healthcare approach that has gained popularity in recent years due to its unique and personalized approach to complex and chronic health problems. Unlike conventional medicine, which often treats symptoms, functional medicine focuses on identifying the root cause of an issue and tailoring treatment plans accordingly. The approach takes into account various factors that contribute to an individual's health, including:

• Genetics
• Diet
• Lifestyle components
• Hormonal changes

Functional medicine appointments are more extensive than conventional medical appointments. Patients are evaluated through specialized lab tests that assess overall body functioning. These functional labs provide complete data, enabling practitioners to evaluate imbalances using integrative medicine (conventional and alternative).

• Rheumatoid Factor (RA) Blood Test - detects RF protein in the blood to help diagnose rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune disorders.
• ANA Screen, IFA, with Reflex to Titer and Pattern Blood Test - detects antinuclear antibodies to screen for autoimmune disorders.
• Thyroid Peroxidase Antibodies (TPO) Blood Test - If the level of these antibodies is high, it means that hypothyroidism is caused by Hashimoto's disease.
• Thyroid Antithyroglobulin Antibody (TAA) Blood Test - Elevated levels of these antibodies can indicate the presence of Hashimoto's disease.
• Thyroid-stimulating Hormone (TSH) Blood Test - measures TSH levels to evaluate thyroid health and function.
• Thyroxine (T4) Blood Test - measures T4 levels to diagnose and monitor thyroid disease.
• Thyroxine (T4) Free Direct Serum Test - measures free T4 levels to diagnose and monitor thyroid disease.
• Tri-iodothyronine (T3) Blood Test - measures T3 levels to screen for hyperthyroidism.
• Tri-iodothyronine (T3) Free Serum Test - measures free T3 to help screen for hyperthyroidism.
• Reverse T3 Blood Test, LC/MS/MS - measures reverse T3 levels to screen for hypothyroidism.
• Complete Blood Count (CBC) with Differential and Platelets Blood Test - evaluates overall health and identifies a wide range of hematologic disorders.
• C-Reactive Protein (CRP) Blood Test, High Sensitivity, Cardiac Risk Assessment - used as a test for inflammatory diseases, infections, and neoplastic diseases (malignant or benign growths).
• Iron and Total Iron-Binding Capacity (TIBC) Blood Test - evaluates Iron level, Iron stores, and nutritional status and can help detect blood diseases.
• Vitamin B12 Blood Test - Evaluates Vitamin B12 levels.
• Folate (Folic Acid) Serum Test - Evaluates Folate levels.
• Alkaline Phosphatase Blood Test - measures ALP levels to screen for liver or bone disorders.
• Sedimentation Rate Blood Test, Westergren - helps diagnose conditions that cause inflammation.
• Ferritin Blood Test - measures ferritin levels to screen conditions related to an iron deficiency.
• Lactic Acid Dehydrogenase (LD) Blood Test - measures LD levels to help diagnose lactic acidosis.
• Homocysteine Blood Test - used to evaluate vitamin deficiencies, risk of heart disease, and risk of autoimmune diseases.
