Thyroid Antibody Screen
Thyroid disease is commonly (though not exclusively) caused by an autoimmune process whereby the body begins to attack itself.
The two main types of autoimmune thyroid disease are Hasimotos thyroiditis (also known as hypothyroidism or an underactive thyroid) and Graves disease (hyperthyroidism or an overactive thyroid).
This test uses ELISA technology to measure autoantibodies to thyroid peroxidase (TPO) a type of antibody produced when the body begins to attack its own thyroid gland. Anti TPO antibodies are produced in both Hashimotos thyroiditis and Graves disease and are unequivocal evidence of autoimmune thyroid disease.
Coeliac Screen (Gliadin tTg)
Coeliac disease is a condition in which the consumption of foods containing gluten (wheat, barley and rye) causes damage to the lining of the small intestine. The small intestine containins finger like projections called villi which normally play a role in absorbing vital nutrients from the food we eat. In coeliac disease these villi becoming flattened meaning that a coeliac sufferer becomes malnourished due to multiple nutrient deficiencies. Common symptoms of coeliac disease include diarrhoea, weight loss, vomitting, abdominal cramps, fatigue, anaemia, although sometimes there may be different symptoms or no abnormal symptoms experienced. This test measures levels of antibodies to IgG and IgA gliadin and tissue transglutaminase a very specific antibody for coeliac disease. All that is needed is a small finger prick sample of blood. The test contains everything that is needed to take the sample and to post it back to the laboratory
Parasite Screen
A parasite is an organism that feeds off an organism for its own survival. Although parasites are often considered to be a tropical problem they are becoming increasingly common in the western world with as many of 10% of the population infected. Parasites can cause a range of symptoms including diarrhoea, constipation, stomach cramps and discomfort and skin issues. Once identified a parasitic infection can be treated with either antibiotic agents or natural herbal alternatives. This test also screens for candida a type of yeast that can colonise in the gut and cause a range of unpleasant digestive symptoms
