Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), Plasma
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), Plasma is a clinical biomarker on the Inflammation panel, reported in pg/mL. Standard reference range: 31–86 pg/mL. Functional (optimal) range used by integrative practitioners: 31–86 pg/mL.
What is Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), Plasma?
VEGF is a signaling protein that drives angiogenesis and vascular permeability in response to hypoxia and inflammation; in functional medicine it is used as part of the Shoemaker biotoxin/CIRS panel, where low levels are thought to reflect impaired capillary oxygen delivery. Range shown is EDTA plasma (Quest 31–86 pg/mL), the specimen used in the Shoemaker CIRS panel. Interpretation: below 31 pg/mL is low and fits the CIRS pattern; 31–86 pg/mL is normal; above 200 pg/mL is an elevated concern. Serum results run much higher and belong on the VEGF, Serum marker.
Reference ranges
| Range type | Value (pg/mL) | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Standard (lab) | 31–86 | Typical Quest / LabCorp adult reference |
| Functional (optimal) | 31–86 | Integrative / functional medicine consensus |
How SomaVue interprets Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), Plasma
SomaVue maps every result for Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF), Plasma against four clinical lenses — nutrient cofactors, toxin exposure, infection drivers, and circadian/hormonal context — and connects each interpretation to specific peer-reviewed citations. Pre-mapped clinical reasoning and cross-marker pattern detection are available inside the practitioner workspace.
