Spirometry

Pulmonary function tests are breathing tests to understand how well you move air in and out of your lungs. Spirometry is the most common test and measures how much air you can move into your lungs and how quickly you can move air out of your lungs. 

Spirometry can be used to diagnose  respiratory conditions like asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Wildfire smoke has high concentrations of particulate matter and irritants and can lead to lower lung function and exacerbate pre-existing respiratory conditions. Spirometry is one way to detect and help manage smoke-induced respiratory complications.

CHEM8+

The CHEM8+ is a comprehensive blood chemistry panel that provides critical information on a patient’s metabolic status. This panel is essential for diagnosing and monitoring various health conditions, including kidney disease, diabetes, and electrolyte imbalances.

For wildfire survivors, the CHEM8+ panel is crucial for monitoring the effects of toxin exposure on metabolic functions. It assesses critical parameters like electrolytes, kidney function, and blood sugar levels, which can be impacted by inhaling harmful substances in wildfire smoke. This panel aids in early detection of potential health issues, for timely medical intervention.

CG4+

The CG4+ panel is primarily focused on assessing the acid-base balance and respiratory status of the patient. It provides critical insights into respiratory and metabolic function, often used in critical care settings.

The CG4+ panel is important for evaluating the respiratory and acid-base balance in wildfire survivors. Exposure to smoke and airborne chemicals can lead to respiratory distress and metabolic imbalances. This panel helps in identifying and managing conditions like respiratory acidosis or alkalosis, for comprehensive health monitoring in the aftermath of wildfire exposure.

Heavy Metals Report

Heavy metals are a class of several environmental hazards that pose a potential health risk from the fires. As a part of MauiWES, we are exploring the relationship between exposure to heavy metals and health using urine samples from participants like you. We prioritized the analysis of the following heavy metals based on the Hawaii State Department of Health data of the composition collected in Lahaina and Kula.

Disclaimer

These heavy metal results from your urine samples are not intended to be medical advice or substitute for professional medical consultation. Consult a healthcare professional for personal health concerns and interpretation of this data. Do not use this information as a substitute for professional medical evaluation and advice. Your health is important; always seek expert advice for a full understanding of your health.

Methodologies

Analysis was performed using mass spectrophotometry from your stored urine samples. All heavy metals data is displayed as a concentration (in ug/L) normalized with urine specific gravity as a standard. Quality control was ensured using certified reference materials. Values that are not displayed (NA) may have been below the limit of detection.
