2 Micronutrient Test - Clinician Reference Guide Research proves that nutrients ork synergistically so that the status of one nutrient typically impacts the status of other nutrients. This guide summarizes years of clinical experience ith the micronutrient test performed on hundreds of real patients. Every vitamin and mineral should be evaluated ithin the context of others. MONITOR THE FOLLOWING sections For each nutrient tested, the Monitor the Folloing section lists other nutrients most commonly affected by a deficiency of the main nutrient listed. For example, if a patient shos deficiency in thiamin (vitamin B1), e suggest that you also pay specific attention to levels of magnesium and pyridoxine (vitamin B6). Although a deficiency may not (yet) exist in the nutrients listed under Monitor the Folloing, e commonly see these deficiencies develop if a deficiency of thiamin (vitamin B1) is not corrected. PATIENT PROFILE sections These are the most common clinical presentations that occur hen a deficiency of the referenced nutrient exists. For example, a patient ho has a thiamin deficiency often presents ith neuropathies, depression, myalgia, cardiomyopathies or takes diuretics and/or eats a high carbohydrate diet. Although this list is not exhaustive, it summarizes the most common clinical conditions seen by physicians using the micronutrient test. Use this guide to facilitate interpretation of SpectraCell s micronutrient test, hich is a very comprehensive vie of nutritional status.
