Allergy
Around 30 million German citizens suffer from allergies (e.g. hay fever, asthma, house-dust allergy, Hymenoptera venom allergy, food allergies, neurodermatitis). An allergy develops when the body’s immune system is triggered by harmless foreign…
Endocrinology
Endocrinology is the study of endocrine glands such as the thyroid, adrenal glands, pituitary gland and pancreas. Along with the glands that produce sex hormones and other hormone producing cells, such as those found in the gastrointestinal tract and…
Genetic diagnostics
The genetic information contained in each individual cell represents the basis of all life processes. Not only are all physical characteristics and metabolic processes encoded in the genes, but also genetic predispositions for diseases.
Immunodiagnostics
A high-performance and well controlled, working immune system is the prerequisite for effective defence against pathogenic microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi) as well as for the destruction of tumour cells.
Diagnostic testing for infectious disease
An "infection" refers to the active or passive invasion and subsequent proliferation of pathogens in the body.
Cardiovascular diagnostics
The best way to prevent coronary heart disease is to identify and minimise the risk factors. This is fundamentally supported by the laboratory diagnostic analysis of parameters directly associated with these diseases.
Gastrointestinal diagnostics
More than 30% of the population suffers from indistinct abdominal symptoms characterised by flatulence, recurrent diarrhoea, constipation, abdominal cramps or vomiting.
Mitochondrial diagnostics
Maintaining homeostasis, i.e. the constant renewal of the somatic cells of our organs, especially the brain, requires a constant supply of energy.
Neuroendocrine diagnostics
Overview of laboratory services
Diagnostic toxicology
The harmful effects of substances on the body is the focus of this area. In most cases, there are no substances that are fundamentally toxic or non-toxic. Only the quantity of the substance can determine how toxic it is.
Nutritional Medicine and Vital Nutrients
Nutritional medicine focuses on the nutrients and essential substances the body requires for growth, energy production, and the maintenance of all vital functions.
Food intolerance
Food intolerances are a general term for all reactions that occur in connection with the consumption of food and typically lead to local symptoms in the digestive tract.
Drinking Water Laboratory
Legionella may be present in surface water, within the ground, and even in groundwater in small quantities. This is why a small quantity of Legionella may be present in drinking water from water works.
