The NutrEval Test is a comprehensive nutritional assessment. This test focuses on plasma amino acid analysis along with evaluations using serum, whole blood, and urine samples.
This test assesses a wide range of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and other biomarkers to detect dietary deficiencies and imbalances that may impact overall health.
What is the NutrEval Test?
Why is the NutrEval Plasma Test Important?
The NutrEval test helps physicians and patients understand the role of nutritional imbalances in contributing to health issues. It assists practitioners in identifying underlying causes of dysfunction and provides actionable insights for patients to address chronic conditions through personalized nutritional strategies.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), malnutrition—ranging from deficiencies to excesses—affects every country. The three major categories of malnutrition are:
- Undernutrition
- Micronutrient-related malnutrition (inadequate or excessive vitamins or minerals)
- Overweight, obesity, and diet-related diseases
Since nutrients play essential roles in processes such as metabolism, immune defense, hormone regulation, and digestion, maintaining nutritional balance is key to preventing disease and promoting long-term health.
Which Patients Can Benefit from the NutrEval Plasma Test?
The NutrEval Plasma test is ideal for individuals experiencing symptoms related to
nutritional imbalances or deficiencies, including:
• Mood disorders
• Cardiovascular disease
• Obesity and insulin resistance
• Type 2 diabetes
• Fatigue and weight management challenges
• Autism spectrum disorders
• Malabsorption or maldigestion
• Increased nutrient needs due to physical trauma or healing
Even individuals without noticeable symptoms may have silent nutrient deficiencies. In the U.S., common deficiencies include iron, vitamin D, B12, calcium, and magnesium, all of which can be identified through comprehensive nutritional testing.
What Does the NutrEval Plasma Test Measure?
The NutrEval Plasma test analyzes over 125 biomarkers, including more than 40 key nutrients, such as:
• Antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals
• Amino acids (essential and non-essential)
• Fatty acids (essential and metabolic)
• Organic acids and oxidative stress markers
• Toxic and nutrient elements
• Peptide-related markers
These biomarkers are measured using advanced techniques such as Gas Chromatography, Mass Spectrometry (MS), and Liquid Chromatography with MS/MS for precise results.
How are the Results Presented?
Genova Diagnostics provides a user-friendly report with practical recommendations, including:
• Dietary, vitamin, mineral, amino acid, and fatty acid guidance
• Functional scoring across areas such as mitochondrial function, detoxification,
oxidative stress, fatty acid balance, and methylation support
• Educational content on nutrient functions and complications of deficiencies,
along with dietary sources
What Type of Samples are Required?
The NutrEval Test requires blood and urine samples. Blood must be collected by a healthcare professional.
Plasma vs. Urine Amino Acid Analysis
Certain amino acids are best measured in blood, while others are more accurately assessed in urine, depending on the clinical concern. The sample type selection helps target specific diagnostic needs and ensures accurate results.
Personalized Nutrition through Algorithmic Analysis
The NutrEval test uses a sophisticated algorithm to interpret biomarker results, identifying the patient’s individual nutrient needs based on evidence-based functional markers. This personalized approach guides practitioners in developing targeted therapies and improving patient outcomes.
The NutrEval Test offers a powerful tool for physicians to address a wide range of health concerns by identifying and correcting nutritional imbalances. Whether for chronic conditions, preventative care, or personalized dietary guidance, this test supports a proactive approach to optimal health.
