The OMX Organic Metabolomics test from Diagnostic Solutions Laboratory is an advanced metabolic assessment that evaluates organic acids, amino acids, and other key compounds to assist practitioners in unraveling their patient's metabolic pathways, revealing their unique Metabolic Signature.
Using a systems-biology approach, OMX assesses biomarkers beyond the traditional metabolites lists. This test enables practitioners to see a patient's larger health picture by deciphering and connecting perturbations of key metabolic pathways and analytes, allowing for personalized therapeutic support.
OMX characterizes metabolic phenotypes by presenting analytes in pathway categories to more easily identify metabolomic deviations that can underlie—and even precede—disease.
OMX also offers additional key markers and ratios as a standard part of the profile, including cortisol, kynurenine, microalbumin, equol, and more.
OMX™ Testing Groups Urine and Plasma Analytes into Six Functional Health Categories:
The front page of the OMX report provides an overview of the impairment of each functional category that practitioners can use to easily review results with patients.
This page includes valuable charts, including a convenient "Health Target" graphic that can help patients immediately start to recognize their current metabolic signature.
The bulk of the multi-page report details every analyte detected, along with the enzymes that affect a patient's metabolic pathways. Customized treatment recommendations are also conveniently provided on the last page of the report. See the OMX Sample Report for more details.
The OMX metabolomics test algorithms are based on published literature. Results offer actionable information practitioners can use to develop personalized interventions.
Understanding an individual's metabolome, combined with their medical history and lifestyle, allows clinicians to establish a larger picture and provide support from the bottom up.
Ideally, practitioners will use OMX to establish a baseline metabolic signature for healthy patients. The baseline could be used for future comparison if symptoms, disease, or illness occur.
OMX Provides Insight into the Following Areas of Health:
Specimen Type: First Morning Void (Urine) and Plasma
Avoid consuming fruits, jams, and jellies for 48 hours prior to collection
This test cannot be ordered for patients under 12 years of age.
