Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Vitamin K1 take 18 days?
K1 is present in very tiny amounts and requires a highly specialized, multi-step HPLC process to ensure 100% accurate measurement.
Why is Magnesium included?
You cannot properly absorb or use Vitamin D or Calcium if your Magnesium levels are low.
Why test "Ferritin" if my Iron is normal?
Your blood iron can look normal even if your "storage tank" (Ferritin) is almost empty.
Can I drink tea before the test?
No. Tea contains tannins that can temporarily interfere with iron absorption and mineral readings.
What is "TIBC"?
Total Iron Binding Capacity. If this is high, it means your body is "starving" for iron and is opening up more "seats" to catch whatever it can.
Can I take this test if I have a cold?
It is better to wait. Inflammation from a cold can falsely raise your Ferritin levels, making it look like you have more iron than you actually do.
Why is Vitamin A important?
It is essential for "night vision" and maintaining the health of the lining of your lungs and gut.
Is 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D the best test?
Yes, it is the standard marker for determining your total body stores of Vitamin D.
What is "HPLC"?
It is a high-pressure lab technique that ensures we are measuring the exact vitamin molecule, giving you the most precise result possible.
Can low Vitamin K1 cause bruising?
Yes, because K1 is a key factor in your body's ability to clot blood properly.
Why is TSH in a nutritional panel?
An underactive thyroid (high TSH) slows down your digestion, which can lead to poor nutrient absorption.
Does age affect these vitamin levels?
Yes, as we age, our skin produces less Vitamin D from the sun and our gut becomes less efficient at absorbing B12 and Calcium.
What if my Vitamin E is too high?
While rare from food, excessive supplement use can lead to high Vitamin E, which may interfere with blood clotting.
Can I exercise before the test?
Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours, as it can temporarily shift your Magnesium and Phosphorus levels.
Is the test result confidential?
Absolutely. At Dr. Patho, all your nutritional and metabolic data is protected by the highest privacy standards.
