Oxidative Stress 2.0 Urine Test- Genova Test Kit

What is the purpose of this test?

The Oxidative Stress 2.0 Urine Test Kit measures the level of oxidative stress in your body by analyzing your urine. Oxidative stress happens when there are too many harmful molecules called free radicals in your body, which can damage cells and lead to health problems. The test looks for specific markers in your urine that indicate how much oxidative stress is present.

High levels of oxidative stress are linked to various health issues, including inflammation, aging, and chronic diseases. By using this test, doctors can get a better understanding of your body’s oxidative stress levels and see if there are any imbalances. This information can help them create a plan to reduce oxidative stress, which might involve changes in diet, lifestyle, or specific treatments to improve your overall health.

The Oxidative Stress 2.0 Urine Test- Genova Test Kit includes the following:

• Lipid Peroxides - Lipid peroxides are harmful molecules formed when fats in your body react with free radicals during oxidative stress. They can damage cell membranes and contribute to various health problems. When oxidative stress occurs, there are too many free radicals, which can lead to the creation of lipid peroxides. Measuring lipid peroxides can help assess the level of oxidative stress and the extent of cellular damage in your body.
• 8-OHdG - 8-OHdG, or 8-hydroxy-2'-deoxyguanosine, is a marker of DNA damage caused by oxidative stress. It forms when free radicals attack DNA, leading to changes that can be harmful to cells. Measuring 8-OHdG levels helps assess the extent of oxidative stress and potential DNA damage in the body. High levels of 8-OHdG indicate increased oxidative stress and can be linked to various health issues, including aging and certain diseases.
