Re: OAT from Laboratoire Philippe Auguste

[Guest guest]

Hi ANita

We used their OAT test because also doing porphyrins and

neopterins/biopterins from same lab.

However the data we found difficult to analyse and full of lots of

unnecessary colour charts and drawings which just got in the way. Dr H

didn't like it and found it hard to analyse.

Dr M CK at Breakspear prefers the Metametrix Comprehensive test -

expensive but for the kind of markers she is looking for it it her

preferred option. It certainly does seem very comprehensive - good

choice of name, eh?

Hmm, I was afraid of that. I wanted to use them as I have found that

their other tests are helpful (and I'd like to run them again), but

my experience has been that the metametrix OAT is superior to all the

other ones I've seen/used.

I guess I'll be sending pee all over the world, again :-)

Thanks so much for your help on this.
