Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis in Greenville, SC
Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis at IHP Greenville. Dr. Hendry, DAOM — functional medicine, root-cause diagnostics, personalized care. Call (864) 365-6156.
Functional blood chemistry analysis interprets standard and advanced blood tests using functional reference ranges rather than conventional lab reference ranges — revealing patterns of sub-optimal function that fall within conventional "normal" ranges but produce meaningful clinical symptoms. At Integrative Health Partners, Dr. Hendry uses functional blood chemistry as the foundation of his functional medicine consultations, translating lab data into a clear biological picture that guides personalized treatment.
How Functional Blood Chemistry Analysis Works
Dr. Hendry reviews your blood panel using both standard interpretation (for frank pathology) and functional interpretation (for sub-optimal function). He identifies patterns across multiple markers — for example, a pattern of high MCV, low B12, high homocysteine, and elevated mean platelet volume that together indicate functional B12 deficiency even when B12 alone is within normal range. This pattern analysis produces insights unavailable from single-marker interpretation.
