Organic Acids Screen, Random, Urine - OAU

This urine-based screen measures a broad array of organic acids — metabolic waste products excreted from dozens of biochemical pathways — using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS).

It is used to assess metabolic function, detect inborn errors of metabolism, evaluate nutrient deficiencies, and identify imbalances in energy production, detoxification, and gut microbiome activity.
