MDX OAT – Comprehensive Urinary Organic Acids Test

The World Health Organization has identified a global rise in chronic diseases as a significant health challenge. Organic acids testing uncovers hidden imbalances across critical physiologic systems, providing a holistic view of metabolic health. By measuring downstream metabolites of key pathways, the MDX OAT Test sheds light on factors contributing to chronic illness and guides targeted, personalized interventions.

Key Benefits

• Uncovers underlying imbalances in gut, mitochondrial, neurotransmitter, detoxification, and nutritional pathways that may drive chronic disease

• Guides direct, actionable steps during further evaluation to improve symptoms and optimize system function

• Enhances diagnostic precision, forming the foundation for truly personalized treatment plans

Functional Classes of the Organic Acids Test

• Oxalates: Insight into oxalate levels generated by microbes or dietary intake

• Intestinal Microbial Overgrowth: Detects candida activity, Clostridia toxins, mold exposure, and gut flora imbalance

• Neurotransmitters: Assesses phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan metabolites linked to neurotransmitter status and quinolinic acid production

• Mitochondrial Function: Evaluates the efficiency of glucose and amino-acid utilization for energy generation

• Ketone & Fatty Acid Oxidation: Gauges mitochondrial fatty-acid breakdown and ketone production

• Pyrimidines: Reflects folate-dependent pathways and cellular turnover

• Detoxification Markers: Monitors glutathione sufficiency and methylation vs. transsulfuration function

• Nutritional Markers: Reports levels of essential vitamins, antioxidants, and metabolic cofactors

• Mineral Metabolism: Provides insight into phosphate intake and indirect vitamin D status

• Amino Acid Metabolism: Identifies potential nutrient needs or genetic metabolic defects via elevated analytes

Common OAT Pairings

• Mold & Mycotoxin Exposure: Reveals impacts on mitochondrial function, detox capacity, and nutrient status

• Food Sensitivities & Gut Imbalance: Assesses IgG reactions to 190 foods, plus candida/yeas,t and their effect on gut health and nutrient demands

• Mitochondrial & Metabolic: Investigates glyphosate, heavy metals, and mycotoxin exposure with downstream effects on energy, neurotransmitters, detoxification, and nutrition
