Myco-Metabolic Panel (Organic Acids Test + MycoTOX Profile™)

Description

Myco-Metabolic Panel (Organic Acids Test + MycoTOX Profile™)

A combined urine test that includes the full Organic Acids Test panel and the MycoTOX mycotoxin panel in one comprehensive analysis.

Who is this test most suitable for?

This approach is designed for patients concerned about mold exposure while also wanting to assess their overall metabolic health. Mold toxicity can lead to secondary issues such as dysbiosis and mitochondrial stress.

The OAT (Organic Acids Test) can help identify these problems by revealing elevated markers of oxidative stress or signs of yeast overgrowth, which may occur alongside environmental mold exposure.

This test is particularly relevant for:

• Patients who experience both environmental exposures and internal dysbiosis
• Individuals recovering from mold exposure who want to establish a baseline of toxin levels and nutritional status

Clinical Use

This combination of tests is particularly beneficial for cases of suspected mold illness with complex symptoms. It allows for a correlation between findings.

Example: If a patient has high levels of ochratoxin (a mold toxin) and the Organic Acids Test (OAT) shows elevated indicators of oxidative damage and glutathione depletion, this strengthens the case that the mold toxin is impacting their metabolism.

Treatment Guidance

The test results guide treatment by indicating the need for:

• Antifungal or toxin-binding therapies
• Nutritional support (for instance, if the OAT reveals low levels of vitamin B6 or glutathione)

Essentially, this approach provides a comprehensive assessment for those whose illness may be related to mold by confirming the presence of mold toxins and highlighting their effects on the body’s biochemistry.
