This laboratory analysis identifies the presence and concentration of various mycotoxins in a patient’s urine sample. Mycotoxins are toxic secondary metabolites produced by molds (fungi) and can be ingested through contaminated food or inhaled from mold-infested environments. This analysis aids in assessing exposure to these potentially harmful substances within the body.
Accurate identification and quantification of these toxins is crucial for understanding their potential contribution to a range of health issues. Mycotoxin exposure has been linked to various symptoms, including neurological problems, immune system dysfunction, and gastrointestinal distress. Understanding the presence and levels of these toxins assists practitioners in developing targeted interventions and treatment strategies to address potential health complications arising from mold exposure.
