8-hydroxy-2’-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG, or 8-oxodG) is a marker of oxidative stress. Urinary 8-OHdG, in particular, has been measured most frequently to indicate the extent of oxidative damage. guanine is most prone to oxidation. Guanine molecule, one of the four main nucleobases found in the nucleic acids DNA, oxidizes to produce the modified 8-OHdG which acts as one of the predominant forms of free radical-induced lesions of DNA. Oxidative modified DNA in the form of 8-OHdG can be quantified to indicate the extent of DNA damage

Elevated 8-OHdG indicates oxidative damage to DNA.
Diseases including cardiovascular disease, COPD, cancer, thyroid disease, and diabetes have been associated with excessive concentrations of 8-OHdG.
Minimizing exposure to xenobiotics and cigarette smoke, stress management, and increasing antioxidant intake may prevent further oxidative damage.
Increased physical activity is associated with a reduction in urinary 8-OHdG levels.
Green tea catechins decreased 8-OHdG concentrations in patients with Alzheimer’s disease.

Get StartedOur specialized data entry service is designed to seamlessly integrate your laboratory results into your private dashboard. Just send in your lab test results—whether it's an image or a file—and our skilled data entry team will handle the rest. We accommodate various file formats like PDFs, JPGs, and Excel.
The first report is complimentary. After that, the data entry service is priced at $15 per report, unless it's part of your subscribed plan. It's an ideal solution whether you have numerous reports to upload or if your schedule doesn't permit self-data entry.
We strive to make the data entry process easy for you. Whether by offering dozens of templates to choose from that pre-populate the most popular laboratory panels or by giving you instant feedback on the entered values. Our data entry forms are an easy, fast, and convenient way to enter the reports yourself. There is no limit on how many lab reports you can upload.
