Pre-protocol blood tests include virus screening, liver function tests, and CYP450 genetic testing.

“The remaining sample will be used for critical pre-protocol tests: + virus screening: HIV, HBV, HCV, virus testing, to ensure my cells and organoids are pathogen free and safe to work with. + liver function (LIV): Including enzymes (ASL/ALT), albumin, bilirubin, and CRP (systemic inflammation) to quantify liver health and function. + genetic CYP450 testing: To determine the type and speed of drug, supplement, and xenobiotic metabolism (e.g., CYP1A2 for caffeine, CYP2D6 for beta-blockers).”
