Anemia of Chronic Disease
Anemia of chronic disease reflects inflammation that restricts iron use and blunts red cell production. At Superpower, we test for Hemoglobin, Ferritin, Iron, TIBC, % Saturation, and the CRP/Albumin Ratio to distinguish deficiency from sequestration, gauge inflammation, and quantify oxygen-carrying capacity and iron bioavailability.
Anorexia Nervosa
Biomarker testing clarifies how anorexia nervosa is affecting core systems: protein status, fluid-electrolyte balance, and stress hormones. At Superpower, we measure Albumin, Sodium, Potassium, Chloride, and Cortisol to detect malnutrition (hypoproteinemia), electrolyte disturbances, and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal dysregulation, guiding safe monitoring of physiological stability.
Dehydration
Dehydration strains fluid balance, blood volume, and kidney blood flow. Biomarkers reveal this stress by tracking electrolyte levels and hemoconcentration. At Superpower, we test for Sodium, BUN/Creatinine ratio, and Albumin to detect water deficit and plasma concentration changes—hypernatremia, prerenal azotemia, and elevated oncotic proteins indicate volume depletion.
Diabetes Mellitus Type 2
Biomarker testing clarifies how your body regulates sugar and insulin, revealing early metabolic stress and disease progression. At Superpower, we measure Glucose, HbA1c, eAG, and the TyG Index for Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 to assess glycemia, average exposure, insulin resistance proxies, and cardiometabolic risk.
Diabetic Ketoacidosis
Diabetic ketoacidosis disrupts energy metabolism and acid–base balance. Biomarker testing confirms hyperglycemia, dehydration, and electrolyte/acid-base derangements. At Superpower, we test Glucose, CO₂ (bicarbonate) to gauge acidosis, Sodium (Na) for effective osmolality, and Potassium (K) for insulin-shifted depletion or dangerous elevation—clarifying severity and guiding urgent clinical decisions.
Dyslipidemia
Dyslipidemia testing maps how your body packages and traffics fats, signaling atherosclerosis risk and metabolic stress. At Superpower, we measure LDL, HDL, Triglycerides, ApoB, LDL-P, HDL-P, LDL Size, and HDL Size to characterize particle burden, functionality, and vascular impact.
Folate Deficiency
Folate deficiency impairs DNA synthesis and red blood cell formation, leading to macrocytic anemia and neurocognitive effects. Targeted biomarker testing clarifies red cell production and size. At Superpower, we test Hemoglobin, MCV, MCH, RDW, and Folate to detect folate deficiency.
Gout
Gout reflects urate metabolism and inflammatory joint stress. Biomarker testing shows how your body produces and clears uric acid, guiding risk for crystal deposition and flares. At Superpower, we test Uric Acid and the Uric Acid/HDL ratio to contextualize urate load and cardiometabolic interplay.
Hyperuricemia
Measuring uric acid clarifies how your body handles purines and clears waste through the kidneys. Elevated levels (hyperuricemia) signal crystallization risk, gout, kidney stones, and cardiometabolic strain. At Superpower, we test Uric Acid to identify hyperuricemia early and contextualize organ systems—renal, metabolic, and inflammatory—affected by excess urate.
Insulin Resistance
Insulin resistance quietly disrupts how your body uses energy, raising cardiometabolic risk. Biomarker testing detects this early. At Superpower, we measure Insulin, Glucose, and the TyG Index (triglyceride–glucose) to assess insulin sensitivity and metabolic stress in liver and adipose tissue.
Iron Deficiency Anemia
Biomarker testing clarifies oxygen-carrying capacity, red cell production, and iron availability—core systems behind energy and cognition. At Superpower, we measure Hemoglobin, Hematocrit, RBC, MCV, MCH, MCHC, RDW, Ferritin, Iron, TIBC, and % Saturation to pinpoint Iron Deficiency Anemia and its physiologic pattern.
Malnutrition
Malnutrition strains every organ system, impairing immunity, energy production, and tissue repair. Biomarker testing reveals hidden deficits before symptoms escalate. At Superpower, we assess protein status and micronutrients with Albumin, Total Protein, Vitamin D (25‑OH), Folate, and Vitamin B12 to map nutritional reserves and systemic risk.
Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome reflects impaired energy handling and cardiometabolic risk. Biomarker testing clarifies insulin resistance, lipid transport, and glucose regulation. At Superpower, we measure triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, glucose, and insulin to map metabolic pathways, quantify risk, and track system-level changes early, before complications emerge.
