NutriPath pathology testing
An at-home dried urine hormone profile listed with Precision Analytical. It includes hormone and metabolite measurements. Confirm the exact panel and laboratory arrangements with Evergreen before collection, particularly if you have been given an EndoMAP or DUTCH request.
EndoMAP (the DUTCH Complete panel from Precision Analytical) is not a standard hormone test. Where a serum panel gives you a snapshot of circulating hormones, DUTCH captures the metabolites, showing not just how much oestrogen you have but which pathway your body is using to clear it. This matters because oestrogen metabolism splits into a protective pathway (2-OH) and a more concerning pathway (4-OH, 16-OH). The ratio between these is one of the most useful data points for anyone with a family history of hormone sensitive cancers or who is considering HRT. Beyond oestrogen, the panel covers the four point cortisol rhythm, free and metabolised cortisol, DHEA, progesterone metabolites, testosterone and its androgenic conversions, melatonin, and functional markers of B6 and glutathione status. Completed at home over a single day with four dried urine strips.
Processing time varies by test. Laboratory analysis begins after your sample arrives; collection and delivery add to the total time.
Allow time for order and referral checks, kit delivery, collecting your samples and transport to the specialist laboratory overseas. Laboratory processing begins when your samples arrive there.
See the steps from order to resultsOrder and referral review, sample collection, laboratory analysis and discussing your report are separate stages. Your test’s processing estimate covers the laboratory stage.
Order your test. We review the order and check whether a referral or other information is required before the next step can begin.
Once the required checks are complete, your collection kit is posted to you. Delivery time is additional to laboratory processing. Read all instructions before you start.
Complete the sample collection at home and return it using the supplied instructions. Allow time for preparation, any timed collections and return postage.
International sample transport takes place before laboratory analysis. Results are prepared after analysis is complete; posting your sample is not the start of the laboratory processing period.
Read the instructions supplied for your exact test before collecting. Check food, drink, medicines, timing, storage and return requirements with your practitioner. Do not stop prescribed medicines without advice.
No. The laboratory estimate does not include order review, referral checks, delivery to you, the time you take to collect, or transport back to the testing laboratory. These stages make up the full order-to-results journey.
The sample has to reach the named testing laboratory before analysis can begin. International transport and any customs or sample-handling requirements add time. A test being processed overseas does not mean similar testing is unavailable in Australia. Ask Evergreen to compare the exact panel and local options.
Check with Evergreen before ordering so the referral requirements, collection timing, delivery and laboratory estimate can be considered together.
Ask Evergreen about timingPractical questions about choosing, preparing for and reviewing this test.
Requirements vary by test. Check the ordering options on this page and confirm any referral requirements with Evergreen. A laboratory’s practitioner-referral requirement is separate from whether you need to book an additional consultation.
Do not stop prescribed medicines on your own. Tell your practitioner what you take and follow the preparation instructions for this test. Timing, fasting and other requirements depend on the sample and markers being measured.
A result is one part of an assessment. A qualified practitioner should interpret it alongside your symptoms, history and medicines. Check whether a results consultation is included in your purchase or needs to be booked separately.
Use the reference intervals and units on your own laboratory report. Ranges can vary with the method and patient factors. A result inside or outside a range does not establish a diagnosis on its own.
These tests are supplied through NutriPath, a medical laboratory founded in 2011 and based in Burwood, Victoria. NutriPath works through a practitioner-referral system.
The laboratory estimate is not the time from placing your order. Allow time for referral checks, kit dispatch where needed, sample collection and transport before processing. The estimate varies by test, and specialist or overseas analysis can take longer.
Follow the estimate for your specific test. A quoted 3–5 business days does not include the whole ordering and collection journey.
Use the instructions supplied for your exact kit. Blood tests may require an arranged collection appointment; receiving a kit does not mean you should draw blood yourself. Saliva, urine, stool and breath tests each have different preparation requirements.
