Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) details
What Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) shows
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a signaling protein that promotes the growth of new blood vessels (angiogenesis), a normal process important for wound healing and tissue repair, but one that can also be co-opted by tumors to supply themselves with blood, and become dysregulated in certain eye and inflammatory conditions. VEGF is studied in cancer (where several cancer treatments specifically target VEGF to cut off a tumor's blood supply), certain eye diseases involving abnormal blood vessel growth (like macular degeneration), and various chronic inflammatory conditions, though blood VEGF testing is used mainly in research and specialized clinical contexts rather than as routine screening.
Tests that include Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)
Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is a protein that promotes the growth of new blood vessels. Measuring VEGF levels can help assess abnormal blood vessel activity and may be useful in evaluating inflammatory conditions or certain eye and vascular disorders.
- Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) A signaling protein that promotes new blood vessel growth. Studied in cancer, wound healing, and certain inflammatory or eye conditions.

The CIRS panel measures markers associated with Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS). It aids in evaluating systemic inflammation and immune dysregulation, facilitating accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plans for patients with CIRS-related conditions.
- Antidiuretic Hormone Also called vasopressin, this hormone helps your kidneys regulate how much water your body retains. Abnormal levels are linked to conditions affecting fluid balance, like diabetes insipidus or SIADH.
- Complement C4a An activation fragment produced when complement protein C4 is triggered. Reflects how active your complement immune pathway currently is.
- Leptin A hormone released by fat cells that helps regulate appetite and energy balance. Levels generally rise with increased body fat.
- Matrix Metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9) An enzyme involved in breaking down tissue, including artery plaque, and contributing to inflammation. Studied in cardiovascular and certain chronic inflammatory conditions.
- Melanocyte-Stimulating Hormone (MSH) A pituitary-derived hormone involved in skin pigmentation and, more recently, studied for roles in appetite and inflammation regulation.
- Osmolality Measures the concentration of dissolved particles in your blood, reflecting hydration and fluid balance.
- Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) A signaling protein that promotes new blood vessel growth. Studied in cancer, wound healing, and certain inflammatory or eye conditions.
- Complement C3a desArg An activation fragment produced when complement protein C3 is triggered. Reflects how active your complement immune pathway currently is.
- Transforming Growth Factor Beta 1 (TGF-ฮฒ1) A signaling protein (cytokine) involved in tissue repair, immune regulation, and inflammation; studied in various chronic inflammatory and fibrotic conditions.
