Description
Overview
This panel evaluates key urinary metabolites that reflect exposure to environmental toxins, solvents, fuel additives, pesticides, and heavy metals, as well as the body’s detoxification capacity via the glutathione and mitochondrial pathways.
Clinical Relevance
Elevated markers in this panel may indicate:
- Solvent exposure (e.g., xylene, toluene, styrene)
- Pesticide and petrochemical contact
- Methyl tert-butyl ether (MTBE) exposure (fuel additive)
- Increased oxidative stress or depleted glutathione
- Mitochondrial dysfunction linked to toxicants
- Ammonia overload or liver stress
- Intestinal dysbiosis with microbial byproduct accumulation
Key Analytes Include
| Marker | Clinical Insight |
|---|---|
| Glucaric acid | Liver detox induction / xenobiotic exposure |
| Mandelic & PhGA | Styrene exposure |
| Methyl hippuric acids | Xylene (solvent) exposure |
| Pyroglutamic acid | Glutathione depletion (e.g., acetaminophen overload) |
| 2-Hydroxybutyric acid | Sulfur metabolism stress / MTBE burden |
| Tiglylglycine | Mitochondrial dysfunction from toxins |
| Orotic acid | Ammonia toxicity / impaired urea cycle |
| Quinolinic acid | Phthalate exposure / neuroinflammation |
| Succinic acid | Mitochondrial suppression from chemical stress |
| Hippuric & benzoic acid | GI dysbiosis or toluene exposure |
| 4-Hydroxybenzoic acid | Paraben ingestion / dysbiosis marker |
When to Consider This Panel
This panel is highly recommended for patients with:
- Chronic fatigue, neuroinflammation, or unexplained headaches
- Chemical sensitivities or occupational exposure to solvents
- Liver overload, mitochondrial symptoms, or oxidative stress
- Ongoing gastrointestinal complaints and suspected dysbiosis
- Detoxification challenges following pharmaceutical or environmental burden

Preparing for this test
WHL will send detailed collection, storage and return instructions with your test kit or appointment confirmation. Those test-specific instructions take priority.
Sample: Urine
Fasting: An overnight fast is usually not needed. Follow the kit’s food, drink and collection-timing instructions.
The collection time, container and storage depend on the test. Follow your WHL kit; do not switch between a spot sample and a 24-hour collection.
Do not stop prescribed medicines or prescribed supplements without advice from your treating clinician. Tell WHL about high-dose biotin; some tests need a longer pause. A short supplement pause does not remove all effects of long-term use.
If another test in the same order requires fasting, follow the combined instructions. Ask your clinician or WHL before fasting if you have diabetes, use glucose-lowering medicine, are pregnant, or are arranging testing for a child.
When to expect your results
Usually 3–10 days. This estimate starts when suitable samples reach the laboratory, not on the order or collection date. Shipping is additional. WHL will confirm any test-specific exception; a combined panel follows its slowest component.
Practical preparation tips
If fasting is requested, drink only plain water in your usual amounts. Do not have coffee, tea, juice, milk, energy drinks, sweets or chewing gum. Avoid smoking or vaping that morning. Book an early appointment and eat after collection.
For a planned blood test, avoid alcohol and unusually strenuous exercise for 24 hours, where practical, and sit quietly for about 15 minutes before collection. Tell WHL if you could not follow the preparation instructions.
Do not extend fasting or change prescribed medication on your own. Ask your clinician first if you have diabetes, need medicine with food, are pregnant, or are arranging testing for a child. WHL’s full test-specific instructions take priority.
