Nutritional Status Monitoring Test Kit

Nutritional testing is to evaluate the patient’s overall nutritional status to understand the patient’s nutritional status or observe the effect of nutritional treatment. The detection of Ferritin, Albumin, Transferrin and Prealbumin  is of great significance in nutritional status investigation.

Nutritional testing is to evaluate the patient's overall nutritional status to understand the patient's nutritional status or observe the effect of nutritional treatment. According to anthropometry, biochemical examination and dietary survey, the subjects were analyzed and evaluated comprehensively. It plays a guiding role in the next nutritional treatment. Serum ferritin is the most abundant protein containing iron in the body. Liver, spleen, red bone marrow and intestinal mucosa are the main sites of iron storage, accounting for about 66% of the total iron in the body. Determination of serum ferritin is an important indicator of iron storage in vivo. It is of great significance in the diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia, iron overload and nutritional status investigation. Albumin/globulin (A/G) plays an important role in clinical practice. The normal value of A/G is 1.5-2.5:1. An increase in A/G may be due to A rise in albumin caused by over-nutrition diseases, or A deficiency in immunoglobulin (antibodies). TRF tends to decrease in acute response. Therefore, inflammation and malignant lesions often decrease simultaneously with albumin and prealbumin. It is also decreased in chronic liver disease and malnutrition and can therefore be used as an indicator of nutritional status. Prealbumin (PA), also known as transthyretin (TTR), is a 54,000 molecular weight protein synthesized by liver cells. When separated by electrophoresis, it is often shown in front of albumin. Its half-life is very short, only about 1.9 days. Therefore, determination of its plasma concentration is more sensitive to understand the protein malnutrition, liver dysfunction, albumin and transferrin.
