US based, Pathnostics offer a test called Guidance UTI, a unique rapid molecular test for both pathogen identification and antibiotic sensitivity, backed by patented technology. Guidance uses polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect DNA from pathogens for UTIs and for prostatitis. Turnaround on receipt of sample and delivery of results in 24 hours.
A referral from a GP or physician/consultant is needed. In addition to test kits for urine analysis, HPV screening for cervical cancer tests can also be ordered.
Pathnostics can also provide a listing of US physicians they are working with to help patients looking for clinical support using their testing. They can also provide interpretation of results for patients and clinicians once the results have been received. They are unable to accept samples from international patients unless they are in treatment with a US practitioner.
