tests for predictive autoantibodies that may appear up to 10 years
before clinical symptoms develop. This test efficiently and
cost-effectively evaluates potential tissue damage across various
organs in the body. It is recommended for patients who have
been diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder or suffer from
chronic increased intestinal permeability, which can lead to
environmentally induced autoimmune disorders.

The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is a blood test that
measures the rate at which red blood cells settle at the bottom of
a tube. This test can indicate inflammation in the body. A higher
ESR may suggest the presence of conditions such as infections,
autoimmune diseases, or certain types of cancer.
C-reactive protein (CRP) is a protein produced by the liver that
increases in response to inflammation. High levels of C-reactive
protein (CRP) indicate inflammation in the body, which can be
due to infections, chronic diseases, or injuries.
