Ordering the Oxidative Stress Urine Analysis 2.0 | Genova | Canada
The Oxidative Stress Urine Analysis 2.0 helps measure how much damage from free radicals is happening in your body by checking for lipid peroxides and 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in your urine. This test can show if your body is struggling to keep up with oxidative repair, which can affect energy, immune support, and how well your cells work. Interestingly, high levels of 8-OHdG are linked to DNA damage, which can be an early sign of cellular changes before symptoms appear.
Ordering this test can help you:
- Find out if your body is under oxidative stress before symptoms develop
- See if your antioxidant support is enough to protect your cells
- Check for early signs of cellular damage that may lead to chronic disease
- Track how well your body is detoxifying and repairing itself
- Get clear information to guide changes in your diet or supplements
Who Should Consider Oxidative Balance and Cellular Damage Testing
People who feel tired often, have trouble recovering from exercise, or notice slow healing after minor injuries may benefit from this test. For example, someone who feels drained after a normal day and wants to know if oxidative stress is playing a role could use this test to get answers.
Ordering this test may also be helpful if you:
- Have a family history of chronic conditions linked to oxidative damage
- Are exposed to high levels of pollution or environmental toxins
- Follow a diet low in fruits and vegetables
- Experience frequent inflammation or joint discomfort
- Work night shifts, as disrupted sleep can increase oxidative burden
Testing for oxidative stress markers can help you see if your body is struggling with free radical damage, which can affect how well your cells work and how quickly you recover from daily wear and tear. Delaying this test could mean missing early signs of oxidative injury, making it harder to take steps that support your body’s natural repair systems.
How to Prepare for Oxidative Stress Marker Testing
Fasting is not required for this urine test, but it’s best to collect your sample first thing in the morning for the most useful results. Always follow any instructions your doctor or healthcare provider gives you to make sure your sample is collected and shipped correctly.
Labs Included When Ordering Your Oxidative Stress Urine Analysis 2.0
| Test Name | Reference Range | What This Marker Means | Low and High Levels of Oxidative Stress Urine Analysis 2.0 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lipid Peroxides | 0.00 – 0.45 | Lipid peroxides show how much fat in your body is being damaged by free radicals. High levels can mean your cells are under attack from oxidative stress. |
High levels mean your body is experiencing more cell membrane damage from free radicals.
Low levels mean there is less fat damage from oxidative stress. |
| 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) | < 16.0 | 8-OHdG is a marker for DNA damage caused by oxidative stress. It helps show if your body’s repair systems are keeping up with cell injury. |
High levels mean your DNA is being damaged by oxidative stress, which can increase risk for chronic conditions.
Low levels mean there is less DNA damage from free radicals. |
Reference ranges may change slightly as labs update their testing methods and guidelines.
