Human Herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6) is a common virus that primarily infects children, causing a mild illness known as roseola, characterized by high fever and a distinctive rash. The presence of IgM antibodies against HHV-6 in the blood is a significant marker used to diagnose recent or active infection. IgM, which stands for immunoglobulin M, is the first type of antibody the immune system produces in response to an infection. When HHV-6 IgM is detected, it indicates that the body is currently fighting the virus, suggesting either a primary infection or a reactivation of the virus in individuals who were previously infected. Since HHV-6 can lie dormant and reactivate later, especially in individuals with weakened immune systems, monitoring IgM levels can be crucial in clinical settings, particularly for patients undergoing immunosuppressive treatments or organ transplants. By understanding the role of HHV-6 IgM, healthcare providers can better assess and manage the implications of HHV-6 infections, contributing to improved patient care and outcomes.

Human Herpesvirus-6 (HHV-6), belonging to the beta-herpesvirus subfamily, is a lymphotropic virus, which infects mainly T cells in vitro, causes acute and latent infections.

Transforming Growth Factor Beta 1 (TGF-β1) is a vital protein in human health, belonging to the broader TGF-β superfamily. This protein is a key regulator in numerous bodily functions, primarily focusing on cell growth, division, and development. Its role is crucial in maintaining the health and stability of tissues and organs. TGF-β1 is particularly significant in the body's healing processes. During wound repair and tissue regeneration, TGF-β1 acts as a critical coordinator, guiding cells in the repair and healing process. This function makes it an essential component in medical and health research, particularly in understanding wound healing mechanisms.

Homovanillate (aka Homovanillic Acid) is a dopamine metabolite.

Homovanillate and Vanilmandelate are breakdown products from neurotransmitters involved in hormone and nerve impulse transmission, called catecholamines.

The Organic Acids Test measures levels of HVA (homovanillic acid) and VMA (vanillylmandelic acid), the metabolites of the neurotransmitters, dopamine and epinephrine/norepinephrine. It also measures the ratio of the two metabolites.

HVA and DOPAC are the major metabolites of dopamine. HVA stands for Homovanillic acid and DOPAC stands for Dihydroxyphenylacetic.

Urinary casts are tiny tube-shaped particles that can be found when urine is examined under the microscope during a test called urinalysis. Hyaline casts can be present in low numbers (0-1/LPF) in concentrated urine of otherwise normal patients and are not always associated with renal disease.

Hydrogen increase over baseline by 90 minutes.

A rise of ≥ 20 ppm from baseline in hydrogen by 90 min should be considered a positive test to suggest the presence of SIBO

Sulfate-reducing bacteria convert dietary sulfur and taurine to H2S, a toxic compound that impairs intestinal detoxification pathways and can cause gas that smells like rotten eggs. H2S production is associated with high-protein, low-fiber diets. Sulfate-reducing bacteria compete with methane-producers and acetate-producers for the same H2 substrate; and as a result, it is important to maintain a delicate balance among all three.

3-Hydroxykynurenine is a metabolic intermediate of the kynurenine pathway that elicits neurotoxic effects.

Hydroxylysine is an amino acid related to collagen.

What is collagen?

Collagen is the most abundant protein in your body. It is the major component of connective tissues that make up several body parts, including tendons, ligaments, skin and muscles.
