Key Pediatric Health Concerns
Nutrient-deficient children may show signs such as fatigue, pale skin, delayed growth, weakened immunity, brittle hair, slow wound healing and digestive issues. Children lacking micronutrients like iron, zinc, and vitamin D are at risk of stunted growth, rickets, and cognitive delays.
Conversely, children with nutrient excess may experience symptoms such as nausea, fatigue, overweight, obesity or multisystem impacts.
Early detection of these conditions enables parents and healthcare providers to adjust diets and plan appropriate nutritional supplementation, thereby preventing long-term complications and supporting the comprehensive health and development of young children.
This test evaluates deficiencies or excesses in vitamins (B12, B9, vitamin D), electrolytes (sodium, potassium, chloride), and essential minerals (calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, zinc). Imbalances in these levels in a child’s body may indicate various issues related to bones, anemia, or diseases affecting vital organs such as the liver and kidneys.
Understanding these markers enables parents to implement effective care, treatment and nutritional supplementation for children.
Food sensitivity often involves difficulty digesting or processing certain components, resulting in symptoms like skin itching, bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhea, or fatigue. In children, these reactions can impact both physical and mental development, hinder nutrient absorption and weaken the immune system.
This panel helps identify foods that children cannot digest or that trigger adverse reactions, pinpointing the cause of nutritional deficiencies. By conducting this test, parents can proactively design a suitable diet to ensure balanced nutrition, supporting comprehensive and healthy development in children.
Common signs of digestive disorders in young children include abdominal pain, diarrhea, indigestion, poor appetite, nausea, vomiting, weight loss or slow weight gain. This condition can arise from various causes, such as bacteria, viruses, parasites or food intolerances.
When a child shows symptoms of a digestive disorder, early testing is essential to accurately identify the cause and provide the most effective treatment and care.
This advanced PCR test precisely identifies the cause of digestive disorders in children, whether due to viral, bacterial or parasitic infections. Accurate identification of the agent is crucial for effective treatment, helping to avoid inappropriate antibiotic use, which can lead to antibiotic resistance.
Food sensivity is a condition where young children are unable to digest or absorb certain foods normally, including eggs, dairy, vegetables, fruits, meats, seafood and various nuts. Persistent food sensitivity not only causes discomfort but can also impact a child’s development due to the lack of appropriate nutritional supplementation.
Food sensitivity test is essential to support parents in adjusting the child’s diet for better health, helping to prevent long-term digestive issues.
Common symptoms of parasitic infections in young children include skin itching, rashes, diarrhea, abdominal pain, difficulty breathing, sneezing, runny nose, nausea and vomiting. Additionally, certain infectious agents, such as the dengue virus, group A streptococcus, or influenza virus, can cause prolonged fever in children.
Early detection of these conditions enables parents to better control the child’s environment and adjust their diet, helping to prevent serious complications.
Children are at high risk for parasitic infections due to their developing immune systems and behaviors that increase exposure to contaminated environments. Parasites like worms, flukes and other intestinal parasites can cause symptoms such as skin itching, diarrhea, abdominal pain or malnutrition.
Testing identifies the specific type of parasite causing these symptoms, aiding in effective treatment, fostering healthier daily habits and enhancing nutrition in children.
Fever is one of the first signs indicating that a child’s body is responding to an infection caused by bacteria, viruses or other pathogens. Young children require comprehensive testing to accurately identify the cause of the fever, particularly for conditions like dengue fever.
Proper identification of the infection source enables effective treatment plans, helping to avoid unnecessary antibiotic use that could negatively impact the child’s health.
Children have sensitive immune systems and are prone to allergens such as foods, plants or pets. Allergic reactions can lead to symptoms like skin itching, rashes, asthma or rhinitis, negatively impacting their health and daily life. Allergy testing is essential to proactively and effectively prevent these reactions.
This specially designed test accurately identifies allergens and assesses the body’s response levels to common allergens in children, including eggs, milk, oranges, carrots, peanuts, shrimp, beef and pet dander.
This test is crucial for children showing signs of allergies, helping parents provide appropriate care, adjust diet and make lifestyle changes to ensure the child’s optimal health.
Common signs of rickets in children include slow height growth, brittle bones prone to fractures, delayed tooth eruption or increased susceptibility to cavities. This condition arises when a child’s bones are weak, soft, and susceptible to deformity due to nutritional deficiencies or imbalances in essential nutrients.
Testing is crucial to identify the specific cause and level of nutritional deficiency, enabling effective treatment and supplementation. This supports the child’s recovery and promotes healthy bone development, helping prevent long-term complications such as bone deformities or stunted physical growth.
Calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D are essential micronutrients for bone development in children. Calcium and phosphorus are critical minerals for forming and maintaining strong bone structure, while vitamin D enables effective absorption and metabolism of calcium and phosphorus in the body.
Deficiencies in these micronutrients can lead to rickets and stunted growth in young children. Nutrient testing is essential to detect these deficiencies early, allowing for appropriate dietary supplementation to support healthy growth and prevent rickets.
Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) is an enzyme predominantly found in the bones and is directly involved in bone growth. In children, ALP levels in blood are typically high due to active bone development. However, abnormalities in ALP levels can signal potential bone disorders, especially when unusually high ALP levels may indicate conditions like rickets.
The intact Parathyroid Hormone (iPTH) plays a crucial role in regulating calcium and phosphorus levels in the body—two essential minerals for bone and dental development. Abnormal iPTH levels can be a contributing factor to rickets.
Through iPTH testing, physicians can diagnose and treat conditions related to rickets in children early on.
Signs of growth delay in children include slow height gain, weakened immunity, shorter stature compared to age peers, or difficulty achieving normal physical development milestones. This condition can stem from various causes, therefore, testing is essential to pinpoint the exact reason. Identifying the underlying cause enables parents to take proactive steps in treatment and nutritional supplementation, supporting the child’s overall development.
Deficiencies in micronutrients such as iron, zinc, calcium, vitamin D and vitamin B can lead to stunted growth, cognitive delays, weakened immunity and reduced concentration, significantly impacting a child’s overall development.
Micronutrient testing enables doctors to accurately identify specific deficiencies, allowing for tailored dietary adjustments and necessary supplementation. This approach not only helps to address growth delays but also enhances overall health, ensuring children receive the nutrients needed for comprehensive physical and cognitive development.
Thyroid hormones, including TSH, T3 and T4, play a critical role in growth and cognitive development in children. These hormones regulate metabolism, stimulate bone growth, and support brain development, helping children reach age-appropriate growth and developmental milestones.
By testing thyroid hormone levels, doctors can identify growth delays caused by thyroid dysfunction, such as slow height growth, fatigue, cognitive underdevelopment or sluggish responsiveness.
This important test aids in diagnosing growth delays in children by identifying hemoglobin disorders, such as thalassemia or sickle cell disease, which can lead to chronic anemia. These conditions often impair nutrient absorption, resulting in fatigue and delayed height and weight milestones.
The test provides critical information for doctors to accurately diagnose anemia caused by hemoglobin disorders and develop appropriate treatment plans.
