The Cyrex Array #2 is a comprehensive lab test designed to assess intestinal antigenic permeability, often referred to as “leaky gut.” This test helps identify immune responses to various intestinal antigens and provides insight into how gut barrier function may be influencing overall health.
The test evaluates the permeability of the intestinal lining by measuring antibodies to a panel of intestinal antigens. It can help identify disruptions in the gut barrier that may be associated with autoimmune conditions, food sensitivities, and chronic inflammatory states.
After you provide a blood sample, the lab analyzes antibodies directed against the intestinal barrier. The results indicate whether there is an abnormal immune response to specific gut antigens, which may reflect increased intestinal permeability and related immune activity.
The report includes a detailed list of detected antibodies, their levels, and an interpretation of what the results may suggest about intestinal permeability and immune activity. The accompanying Doctor’s Consultation covers implications, potential lifestyle or dietary adjustments, and a plan for follow-up or additional testing if needed.
You will schedule a Doctor’s Consultation to discuss results, interpretations, and recommended interventions. Depending on the findings, your clinician may suggest dietary changes, supplements, or further testing to explore gut health and related systemic impacts.
Follow any pre-test instructions provided by your clinician or the testing facility. This may include fasting or avoiding certain medications prior to sample collection. If you have questions about preparation, contact your healthcare provider.
Results are communicated through your clinician’s patient portal or by secure report delivery, followed by a scheduled consultation to review findings in depth and answer your questions.
This test is one component of a broader assessment of gut health. Results should be interpreted in the context of clinical symptoms, medical history, and other diagnostic information. Consult with your healthcare provider for personalized medical advice.
