How Genova Diagnostics tests are used in clinical practice
Genova testing may be considered when additional biomarker data is needed beyond standard laboratory evaluation.
Common clinical contexts include:
- Gastrointestinal symptoms
- Nutritional and metabolic patterns
- Fatigue or low energy
- Mood and cognitive concerns
- Chronic or multi-system presentations
- Baseline biomarker assessment and monitoring
Genova reports group biomarkers into clinically meaningful categories, which may help support interpretation across physiological systems.

GI Effects® comprehensive stool profile
A stool-based test that evaluates digestion, intestinal inflammation, and microbiome-related markers.
Includes biomarkers such as calprotectin, pancreatic elastase, and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), which have been studied in relation to gastrointestinal and inflammatory processes.
Often considered in the evaluation of gastrointestinal symptoms such as bloating or irregular bowel patterns.
NutrEval®
A blood and urine test that evaluates nutritional status and metabolic function.
Includes vitamins, minerals, amino acids, fatty acids, and oxidative stress markers. Functional biomarkers such as methylmalonic acid and homocysteine may provide additional context related to nutrient status and metabolic pathways.
Often considered when evaluating fatigue or when a broader nutritional baseline is needed.
SIBO breath test
A breath test that measures hydrogen and methane gas production following lactulose ingestion.
Samples are collected over time to assess changes in gas production patterns.
Often considered in the evaluation of symptoms such as bloating or gas after meals.
Metabolomix+
A urine-based test that evaluates metabolic and nutritional biomarkers using organic acid analysis.
Includes markers related to metabolic pathways and oxidative stress.
Often used when a non-invasive metabolic overview is appropriate.
Hormone panels
Hormone testing is available across saliva, blood, and urine specimens.
Panels may include estradiol, progesterone, cortisol, and DHEA, depending on the panel selected and clinical context.
Often considered when evaluating hormone-related patterns.
Detoxification and exposure panels
These panels measure biomarkers related to environmental exposure and oxidative stress.
