iHLTH's Neurofilament Light Chain (NfL) Test
The Neurofilament Light Chain (NfL) Test measures a neuron-specific protein released in response to neuronal injury and neurodegeneration. A rise in NfL levels can be associated with various neurodegenerative conditions or head injuries, providing valuable insights into your brain health. Widely studied, NfL is useful for monitoring cognitive health, especially when used alongside other clinical information.
Follow These 3 Simple Steps:
- Order Your Test Online: Easily and securely order your test from iHLTH’s website—no doctor visit needed.
- Choose Your Location: Select from over 4,500 testing centers for a quick, confidential lab experience.
- Get Results Fast: Receive accurate results in 2-4 business days, straight to your inbox.
Who This Test Is For: The NfL Test is ideal if you’re experiencing cognitive issues or concerns about neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, or if you’ve had a head injury. It's also useful for those monitoring changes in brain health due to aging.
Important Notes:
- Elevated NfL levels are not specific to any single disease and may indicate various neurodegenerative conditions or injuries.
- This test should be combined with other evaluations for a complete picture of your neurological health.
Gain Early Insights into Your Brain Health with the Neurofilament Light Chain Test, designed for those who seek clarity and proactive health management.
- Neurofilament light chain (NfL) is a neuron-specific protein routinely released into the extracellular space. NfL test levels rise above baseline in response to neuronal injury and neurodegeneration. NfL has been widely studied and has demonstrated utility for various neurodegenerative diseases1
- A rise in NfL is not specific for a specific disease factor and may be caused by both neurodegenerative diseases or a head impact during sports. Results should only be used in conjunction with other clinical information when evaluating patients with neurodegeneration. Due to a lack of specificity to a particular neurodegenerative disease, its role as a diagnostic marker is limited.
