Order Organic Acid TestThe Organic Acid Screen is a laboratory test that measures a range of organic acids in a specimen, most often urine. These compounds are byproducts of metabolic pathways involving amino acids, carbohydrates, and the gut microbiome, so their patterns can offer a broad view of how the body processes nutrients and manages certain microbial activity. Because the test captures many analytes at once, results are typically reported as a profile rather than a single value.
About Organic Acid Test in Plum
The Organic Acid Screen is used to assess a variety of metabolic and microbial markers in one specimen.
Organic acids are carbon-based compounds produced during normal cellular metabolism and by certain intestinal microorganisms. The screen detects and quantifies a panel of these acids, which may include markers related to energy production, neurotransmitter breakdown, detoxification, and bacterial or yeast overgrowth in the digestive tract.
Because the panel covers multiple pathways, it is not a single-disease test. Clinicians may order it to investigate unexplained fatigue, digestive complaints, or suspected metabolic imbalances, and they interpret the pattern of results alongside symptoms, history, and other laboratory findings.
Specimen collection usually involves a urine sample, and some protocols call for a first-morning void or a specific collection window. Turnaround is typically one to three business days after the specimen reaches the laboratory, though reporting times can vary by panel size and laboratory workflow.
