Why To Buy

Testing your Myeloperoxidase (MPO) levels can help identify inflammation or autoimmune conditions that may be causing your symptoms, as MPO is involved in the immune system's response.

Finding the cause(s) of:

  • Fatigue: Elevated MPO levels can indicate inflammation or autoimmune activity that often leads to persistent fatigue.
  • Joint pain: MPO testing can help identify autoimmune conditions like vasculitis, which frequently cause joint pain.
  • Muscle aches: Inflammation and autoimmune disorders, potentially indicated by MPO levels, can be a source of muscle aches.
  • Shortness of breath: Certain conditions associated with abnormal MPO levels, like vasculitis affecting the lungs, can cause shortness of breath.
  • Skin rash: Vasculitis and other autoimmune conditions, which can be suggested by MPO results, often manifest with skin rashes.
  • Swelling: Inflammation and autoimmune diseases linked to MPO abnormalities can cause swelling in various parts of the body.
