suPARbio™ Systemic Chronic Inflammation Test

Effective Date: March 1st, 2026

Introduction

This Medical Disclaimer (“Disclaimer”) provides important information regarding the suPARbio™ Systemic Chronic Inflammation Test (the “Test”), a quantitative blood test that measures soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) in human plasma. The Test is offered as a Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) under CLIA regulations and has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). 

By ordering, purchasing, distributing, or using this Test, you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined in this disclaimer below. 

1. Intended Use and Informational Purpose

The suPARbio™ Systemic Chronic Inflammation Test is a quantitative blood test that measures the concentration of soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) in human plasma (EDTA). 

The Test is intended for general wellness purposes and may serve as an adjunctive tool to provide  information about systemic chronic inflammation status in adults. It may also be used over time to monitor changes in suPAR levels, which may provide insight into associations with lifestyle factors such as  diet, physical activity and stress. . This Test is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition. Results are provided for informational purposes only and must be interpreted by a qualified healthcare provider in the context of the individual’s health history, symptoms, and other relevant findings.

2. Consultation with Healthcare Professionals

We encourage you to consult with a licensed healthcare provider or physician to discuss your Test results and their potential relevance to your health and wellness. Your healthcare provider is best equipped to interpret the results in the context of your overall health history and other clinical information. 

The test is not intended to be used as a basis for making medical or treatment decisions without professional guidance. Do not disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking medical care based on the information provided by the Test. Always seek the advice of your healthcare provider with any questions regarding a medical condition or treatment.

3. FDA Status Disclosure

This test has been validated as a Laboratory Developed Test (LDT) under CLIA regulations. It has not been cleared or approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition. Test results should be interpreted by a qualified healthcare provider in the context of the patient’s clinical history, symptoms, and other laboratory findings. At this time, this test is not available for residents of the State of New York. No representation is made that the Test has undergone FDA review or is FDA-cleared or approved.

4.  Specimen Collection and Handling
This kit is intended for use by trained healthcare professionals (e.g., licensed phlebotomists). Although the kit may be delivered to a home or non-clinical setting, blood collection must only be performed by qualified personnel.

Do not attempt to collect blood from yourself; do not collect blood from others unless you are a trained and licensed healthcare professional. Blood collection may be associated with risks, including pain, bruising, bleeding, infection, dizziness, or fainting. Single-use components only. Do not use it if packaging is damaged or has been previously opened.

4.  Interpretation Responsibility

suPAR is a non-specific biomarker linked to systemic chronic inflammation.  Elevated suPAR levels have been reported in the scientific literature in connection with a variety of physiological and pathological contexts including inflammatory states and certain chronic conditions (e.g., cardiovascular and metabolic conditions). . 

Due to suPAR’s non-specific nature, test results must be interpreted by a licensed healthcare provider in the context of the individual’s overall clinical presentation and other relevant information. suPAR Biomarker LLC does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations. Patients should consult their healthcare provider for interpretation of results and appropriate follow-up.

5. Limitation of Liability for Use and Results Interpretation

​​To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the use of the Test and reliance on its results are at your discretion and risk. suPAR Biomarker LLC, its affiliates, licensors, and suppliers shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from or related to the use of the Test, reliance on the results, or decisions made based on the information provided. 

suPAR Biomarker LLC does not assume responsibility for interpretation or use of Test results outside the context of consultation with a qualified healthcare provider, including any incorrect interpretation, improper use, or actions taken based on the results.

Nothing in this Disclaimer excludes or limits liability where such exclusion is not permitted under applicable law.

6. Biological Age Index

Where reported, the suPARbio™ Biological Age Index is a calculated statistical indicator that compares estimated biological age with chronological age. The estimate is derived from population-level reference data and reflects the typical suPAR values observed in healthy individuals of the same sex and age within a defined reference population.

A Biological Age Index higher than chronological age may be observed in individuals whose suPAR levels differ from population averages; such differences have been described in the scientific literature in relation to systemic chronic inflammation. 

The Biological Age Index is a statistical model and is not a measure of biological or physiological age,nor is it intended to assess health status, disease risk, or longevity. It is not a diagnostic tool and should not be used to make medical or treatment decisions... Reference ranges are derived primarily from Northern European populations and may not be universally applicable across all ethnic or demographic groups. 

7.  No Doctor–Patient Relationship

Use of the suPARbio™ Systemic Chronic Inflammation Test does not establish a doctor–patient relationship between any individual and suPAR Biomarker LLC, its affiliates, or its personnel, including employees, contractors, laboratory partners, or representatives. The Test results and any accompanying information are provided for informational purposes only and are not intended to create any clinical relationship or replace professional medical judgment. suPAR Biomarker LLC does not provide medical care, diagnosis, or treatment services..
