Organic Acid Testing

Organic Acid Testing – Discover Root Causes of Chronic Symptoms Through Functional Analysis

Introduction: Why Chronic Symptoms Need a New Approach

Do you struggle with fatigue, brain fog, bloating, mood swings, or frequent infections—but your labs come back “normal”? You’re not alone. At Patients Medical in NYC, we use Organic Acid Testing (OAT) to uncover hidden metabolic imbalances that traditional tests often miss. This advanced urine test evaluates over 70 markers related to mitochondrial function, nutrient status, detox capacity, gut health, and neurotransmitter balance.

Rather than masking symptoms, we identify and treat the root cause with functional, natural, and integrative medicine.

Case Study: Jason’s Brain Fog & Fatigue Resolved

Jason, 41, came in exhausted, anxious, and unable to focus. His conventional labs were “normal.” An Organic Acid Test revealed:

  • Low B6, B12, and CoQ10
  • Elevated HVA (dopamine metabolite) and quinolinic acid (inflammation)
  • High arabinose from yeast overgrowth

We developed a plan including nutrient support, antifungal treatment, and mitochondrial repair. Within 8 weeks, Jason reported sharp focus, better sleep, and stable energy.
