Neopterin

Neopterin is a molecule produced by immune cells, particularly macrophages, in response to stimulation by interferon-gamma. It is regarded as a marker of immune system activation and inflammation. Elevated levels of neopterin in urine or blood can indicate increased immune activity, commonly observed in infections, autoimmune disorders, or chronic inflammatory conditions. As it reflects the cellular immune response, neopterin is sometimes used to monitor disease progression or the status of the immune system.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
