Functional Laboratory Assessment

Meaning

Functional Laboratory Assessment is a diagnostic methodology that evaluates the dynamic function of physiological systems and biochemical pathways, moving beyond the simple detection of pathology. Unlike conventional labs that focus on disease thresholds, this assessment utilizes optimal reference ranges to identify subtle functional imbalances, nutrient deficiencies, or metabolic dysregulation. This approach provides a comprehensive view of the patient’s biological terrain, revealing early signs of dysfunction before they manifest as overt disease. It is a critical tool for personalized health and preventative medicine.
