HVA/VMA Ratio

Neurotransmitters (VibrantWellness), Vibrant Wellness

Optimal range:   0.74 - 1.88 Ratio

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.

HYALINE CAST

Urinalysis, complete, Quest Diagnostics

Reference range:   NONE SEEN, DETECTED

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 (H2)

Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) 3 Hour, Genova Diagnostics

Optimal range:   0 - 20 ppm

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

Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S) production

Stool

BiomeFx, Microbiome Labs

Optimal range:   2.227 - 12.414 Healthy Relative Abundance IQR (%)

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.

HYDROXYPROLINE

Urine

Amino Acid Analysis, LC/MS, Quest Diagnostics

Optimal range:   0 - 2 mmol/mol creatinine

- Hydroxyproline is the key factor in stabilizing collagens.

- Hydroxyproline is abundant in meat and low in plant-based foods. Meat intake increases levels of proline and hydroxyproline.

- Increased hydroxyproline has been found in collagen catabolism (bone resorption, increased reactive oxygen species [ROS]), tissue degradation, muscle damage, or other conditions such as Paget's disease or Alzheimer's disease.

- Proline and hydroxyproline both negatively correlated with a higher likelihood of anxiety, depression, and psychoses.

Hydroxyproline

Amino Acids test [Great Plains Laboratory / Doctor's Data], Doctor's Data

Optimal range:   0 - 40 qM/g creatinine

Hydroxyproline is a collagen related amino acid. Hydroxyproline is a nonessential amino acid, which means that it is manufactured from other amino acids in the liver. Hydroxyproline is necessary for the construction of the body’s major structural protein, collagen. Hydroxyproline is present in essentially all tissues and all genetic types of collagen.
