Single Lab Test
This test identifies individuals with diabetes or advanced kidney disease who may benefit from vitamin E supplementation. Those individuals with the haptoglobin 2/2 variant are at risk for accelerated oxidative damage due to delayed clearance of haptoglobin-hemoglobin complexes. Vitamin E supplementation (400 IU daily) in those individuals has been demonstrated to reduce the risk of CVD events and CVD death.
