Kryptopyrrole Urinary Quantitative
Clinical Use and Diagnosis: Pyrrole disorder-characterized by elevated urine kryptopyrrole test. Resulting in a dramatic deficiency of zinc and vitamin B6. Identified frequently in behavior disorders, autism, aspergers, adhd, add, depression, bipolar disorders,assaultive/aggressive/violent behavior, other mental and emotional conditions and schizophrenia. It is an inborn error of the pyrrole chemistry.
Common symptoms include: Poor tolerance of physical and emotional stress, poor anger control, emotional mood swings, depression, anxiety, poor short term memory, frequent infections, inability to tan, poor dream recall, abnormal fat distribution, sensitivity to light and sound and tactile sensitivites. The decisive laboratory test is analysis of Kryptopyrorle in urine.
Treatment: Treatment of pyroluria consists of a replacement of zinc and vitamin B6. Because the treatment is metabolic rather than pharmacologic, it needs to be titrated to individual requirements. A variety of factors are taken into consideration when developing a treatment regimen. Both zinc and B6 supplementation need to be directed by a practitioner as to much can be toxic, use of wrong form ineffective, and avoiding competing minerals and supplements may be necessary.

Copper
requires a blood draw
Copper increases the electrical potential of the neuron, perhaps due to the enhancement of the movement of sodium. Copper is an essential trace mineral, contained in many healthful foods. However excessive levels are toxic to the body. Elevated copper can interfere with processes, compromising the brain's access to its major source of fuel, and leaving the brain neurons starved for energy. Multiple studies have found a correlation between excess copper and schizophrenia Note: Copper excess has also been implicated in attention and hyperactivity disorders,learning problems,temper tantrums, depression,agitation, post-partum depression, Autism and Asberger's syndrome.

M.D. provides required authorization to the laboratory for ordering the testing and provides a telephone clinical consultation to you. A clinical consultation includes: 1. Lab order 2. Review of health history 3. Telephone consultation to discuss; relevance of test findings, helpful nutrients, changes to consider in your nutrient regimen, recommendations for further medical evaluation or treatment, a brief written report of suggestions/recommendations and a receipt for services. When the testing has been completed, the laboratory results and corresponding documentation will be forwarded to the M.D. who will then contact you by telephone within 7-10 business days to schedule your consultation.

Hair Analysis
Hair is an excretory tissue for essential, nonessential and potentially toxic elements. In general, the amount of an element that is irreversibly incorporated into growing hair is proportional to the level of the element in the other body tissues. Therefore, hair elements analysis provides an indirect screening test for physiological excess, deficiency or maldistribution of elements in the body. Clinical research indicates that hair levels of specific elements, particularly potentially toxic elements such as cadmium, mercury, lead and arsenic, are highly correlated with pathological disorders. For such elements, levels in hair may be more indicative of the body stores than the levels in blood and urine.
All screening tests have limitations that must be taken into consideration. The correlation between hair element levels and physiological disorders is determined by numerous factors. Individual variability and compensatory mechanisms are major factors that affect the relationship between the distribution of elements in hair and symptoms and pathological conditions. It is also very important to keep in mind that scalp hair is vulnerable to external contamination of elements by exposure to hair treatments and products. Likewise, some hair treatments (e.g. permanent solutions, dyes, and bleach) can strip hair of endogenously acquired elements and result in false low values. Careful consideration if the limitations must be made in the interpretation of results of hair analysis. The data provided should be considered in conjunction with symptomology, diet analysis, occupation and lifestyle, physical examination and the results of other analytical laboratory tests.
