The main concern with these symptoms is whether or not they are due to dementia.

Low folic acid levels can also cause memory problems and confusion.

Similarly, we check renal function as the high levels of urea associated with kidney disease can cause confusion. CRP is a marker of inflammation to ensure that symptoms aren’t being caused by infection. In the bone profile, the key marker is calcium as both high and low calcium levels can cause problems with mental function including memory loss and confusion. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThyroid function is tested as both an underactive and an overactive thyroid can cause confusion and memory problems. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLastly we check HbA1C, a marker of blood sugar levels over time, as uncontrolled blood sugar levels in diabetes can cause poor memory. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e38 BIOMARKERS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"funky_list\"\u003e\n\u003col role=\"list\" style=\"--length: 2;\"\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"--i: 1;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFULL BLOOD COUNT\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- White Blood Cell Count (WBC)\u003cbr\u003e- Red Blood Cell Count (RBC)\u003cbr\u003e- Haemoglobin (HGB)\u003cbr\u003e- Hematocrit (HCT)\u003cbr\u003e- Mean Corpuscular Volume (MCV)\u003cbr\u003e- Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin (MCH)\u003cbr\u003e- Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration (MCHC)\u003cbr\u003e- Red Cell Distribution Width (RDW)\u003cbr\u003e- Platelets (PLT)\u003cbr\u003e- Mean Platelet Volume (MPV)\u003cbr\u003e- Lymphocytes (LYM)\u003cbr\u003e- Monocytes* (MON)\u003cbr\u003e- Neutrophils (NEU)\u003cbr\u003e- Eosinophils (EOS)\u003cbr\u003e- Basophils (BAS)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"--i: 2;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKIDNEY FUNCTION\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Sodium\u003cbr\u003e- Urea\u003cbr\u003e- Creatinine\u003cbr\u003e- eGFR (CKD-EPI 2009 formula)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"--i: 3;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eLIVER FUNCTION\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Albumin\u003cbr\u003e- Globulin calculation\u003cbr\u003e- Total protein\u003cbr\u003e- Bilirubin\u003cbr\u003e- ALT\u003cbr\u003e- ALP\u003cbr\u003e- AST\u003cbr\u003e- GGT\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"--i: 4;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTHYROID FUNCTION\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Unbound thyroxine (Free T4)\u003cbr\u003e- Unbound triiodothyronine (Free T3)\u003cbr\u003e- Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"--i: 5;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBONE PROFILE\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Calcium and Corrected Calcium\u003cbr\u003e- Phosphate\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"--i: 6;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eBLOOD SUGAR\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Ultra accurate HbA1c blood sugar\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"--i: 7;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eVITAMINS \u0026amp; MICRONUTRIENTS\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Total Vitamin B12\u003cbr\u003e- Active Vitamin B12\u003cbr\u003e- Vitamin B9 ( also known as Folate and Folic Acid)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"--i: 8;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eIRON STUDIES\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- Ferritin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"--i: 9;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eINFLAMMATION\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- C-Reactive protein (CRP)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"--i: 10;\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eUPGRADE\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeed more biomarkers?
