GlycoCheck

by GlycoCalyx Research Institute

Researchers and physicians can now quantify:

  • Capillary density

  • Capillary blood volume

  • Blood flow and red cell velocity

  • Endothelial glycocalyx function

GlycoCheck measures and analyzes microvascular health, and objectively reports a MicroVascular Health Score (MVHS). Lower scores are linked to:

  • Diabetes

  • Hypertension

  • Heart Disease

  • Kidney Disease

  • Stroke

  • Dementia

  • Septic Shock

  • Inflammatory Disorders

  • Compromised Immunity

  • Cancer Metastasis

Glycocalyx, Endothelium, and Capillary Function Report

The endothelial glycocalyx is a vast protective micro-thin gel lining of all capillaries that touch each of the trillions of cells. The capillaries represent 99% of the circulatory system.

Endothelial glycocalyx research is taking place in universities and hospitals around the world. It’s a unique asset in research departments for automated video analysis of the microvascular system.

GlycoCheck is a non-invasive test. A video microscope camera is placed under the tongue showing live movement of red blood cells as they travel through microvessels.
