Leaky gut syndrome is a condition characterized by increased permeability of the intestinal wall to various substances. It is often associated with autoimmune diseases such as type I diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, autoimmune thyroiditis, and others.
The leaky gut panel examines the permeability of the intestinal wall. The components included in the panel provide information about the absorptive capacity of the intestinal wall and the degree of disruption of the absorptive process.
The profile includes a study of the following parameters:
– Determination of calcium in the blood
– Determination of magnesium in the blood
– Determination of zinc in the blood
– Determination of selenium in blood
– Serum zonulin determination
– Serum FABP2 (intestinal fatty acid binding protein)
