The Comprehensive Organic Acids Quantitative Urine Test analyzes a broad spectrum of metabolites—organic acids—in urine to assess metabolic pathway function. By quantifying markers of detoxification, mitochondrial energy, and microbial metabolism, this test can help detect inborn errors, mitochondrial dysfunction, or dysbiosis.

The Acylcarnitine Plasma Test measures plasma acylcarnitine profiles to evaluate disorders of fatty acid oxidation, organic acid metabolism, and mitochondrial function. This test aids in detecting inherited metabolic conditions, including medium-chain and long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiencies, providing valuable insight into energy metabolism and fatty acid transport pathways.

The Amino Acid Analysis Plasma Test measures levels of essential and non-essential amino acids in blood to evaluate metabolic health, nutritional status, and inherited disorders. Abnormal results may indicate malnutrition, liver disease, kidney dysfunction, or inborn errors of metabolism. Doctors order this test for patients with developmental delays, unexplained weakness, or metabolic concerns. Results help guide diagnosis, treatment, and nutritional management.

The Oxalic Acid, 24-Hour Urine with Creatinine test is a diagnostic tool used to measure the levels of oxalic acid (oxalate) and creatinine in a patient's urine over a 24-hour period. Oxalic acid is a naturally occurring substance in the body, derived from dietary sources and metabolic processes. It plays a significant role in kidney function and metabolic health. Elevated levels of oxalate in the urine can contribute to kidney stone formation and may indicate underlying metabolic disorders. This test is particularly useful in assessing the risk of calcium oxalate kidney stones, evaluating kidney function, and diagnosing certain metabolic disorders. The inclusion of creatinine measurement allows for a more accurate interpretation of oxalate excretion by normalizing results relative to kidney function.

The Total Glutathione Test measures glutathione, a key antioxidant that protects cells from oxidative stress and supports liver detoxification, immune defense, and cellular repair. Low levels may indicate chronic illness, toxin exposure, poor nutrition, or high oxidative stress, while high levels may reflect supplementation. Doctors use this test to assess antioxidant capacity, monitor therapy, and guide treatment for overall metabolic and immune health.
