Advance Blood Testing
NK Cell Activity
NK Cell Activity is a parameter used to determine the white blood cells’ ability to terminate cancer cells, bacteria, and viruses. It is called Natural Cytotoxicity. This kind of test can only be done by highly-skilled researchers.
NK Cell Count
The measurement of NK cells in the bloodstream helps indicate the risk of having cancer. It also determines whether the patients are healthy enough to undergo the radiation therapy. Patients with NK cell deficiency or low NK cell count have a high risk of having cancer. This is because NK cells are the body’s first line of defense to detect and terminate cancer cells before they multiply into the uncontrollable numbers.
Stem Cell Count
The amount of circulating stem cells is crucial to our health. People with the appropriate numbers of circulating stem cells are found to be healthy; whereas the patients with coronary heart disease have an unusually low number of circulating stem cells. Moreover, it is found that the low numbers of circulating stem cells can be associated with several other illnesses and unhealthy living styles:
– Stroke
– Alzheimer’s Disease
– Migraine
– Myocardial infarction
– Erectile dysfunction
– Vascular health
– Injured tissue
– Smoking etc.
Telomere Length Testing
Not only does the shortening rate of the telomeres have an effect on the degeneration of the cells, it is also related to many serious illnesses such as coronary artery disease, cerebrovascular disease, and cancers. Therefore, finding out the length of telomeres helps plan our health care and protection schemes.
Finding out the length of the telomeres gives us the crucial information of our body. Not only does it show how bad our cell degeneration condition is, it can also indicate how well we have lived and taken care of our health. It helps us make some changes before it is too late.
