Nutritional Product Changes
by Genova Diagnostics
Metabolic Analysis Profile (MAP) Change
The name of the Metabolic Analysis Profile (MAP) has been changed to Organic Acids.
Organic Acid Changes
With the upgrade to the NutrEval profile, some analyte changes have been made compared to previous reports. The organic acids arabinose, homogentisic acid, and 2-hydroxyphenylacetic acid are no longer part of the organic acid analysis. These markers have been replaced with D-arabinitol, alpha-hydroxybutyric acid, glyceric acid, glycolic acid, and oxalic acid.
Nutrient & Toxic Element/Element Analysis Profile Change
As part of ongoing assessments into the clinical utility of Genova's nutritional testing, whole blood evaluations for tin exposure will no longer be offered as part of the NutrEval's Nutrient & Toxic Elements add-on or the Elemental Analysis profile.
Comprehensive Urine Elements Change
The "tentative maximal permissible limit" is no longer included in the reference range depiction for certain urine toxic elements on the Metabolomix+ add-on for Comprehensive Urine Elements Profile. These values have limited clinical utility and are no longer supported in the peer-reviewed literature.
