Redox profile, Echevarne

Test of the degree of oxidative stress. Set of clinical analyzes that assess the endogenous antioxidant defense system and determine the degree of oxidative stress. The assessment of oxidative stress or excess free radicals and of intra and extracellular antioxidant potential It serves as an index of diagnosis, prognosis and disease evolution. The organism has a series of antioxidant defense mechanisms that purify free radicals and reactive species that are harmful to the organism in high concentrations. in this way they try to avoid cell damage. However, in certain situations, the purification capacity is exceeded, forming molecules or markers of oxidative damage. Useful for multiple pathologies and aging itself occurs with a higher than normal production of free radicals that activate the immune system, giving rise to parallel inflammatory processes. Diabetes, arthritis, heart attacks, infections, intoxications, use of certain drugs, etc. may improve with antioxidant treatment.
