Zinc, Serum LabCorp

This Zinc test helps check your body's zinc levels, which is important for immune function and healing, and can help identify why you might be experiencing symptoms like diarrhea, fatigue, or poor wound healing.

Finding the cause(s) of:

• Diarrhea: Low zinc levels can sometimes contribute to diarrhea, so this test can help determine if that's a possible cause.
• Fatigue: Zinc plays a role in energy metabolism, and low levels might be linked to feelings of fatigue.
• Hair loss: Zinc is important for hair follicle health, and a deficiency could potentially contribute to hair loss.
• Loss of appetite: Low zinc can affect your sense of taste and smell, which might lead to a loss of appetite.
• Poor wound healing: Zinc is crucial for tissue repair and immune function, so low levels can slow down wound healing.
• Skin rashes: Zinc helps maintain skin health, and deficiencies can sometimes manifest as skin problems like rashes.
