Gut Microbiome Test (16S rDNA)

肠道微生态检测

A gut microbiome test examines microorganisms or their genetic material in a stool sample. A composition report describes the sampled material; it is not the same as a validated test for a particular infection.

About this guide

Clinical details below are in English. Ask the care team for help understanding the source documents.

What to clarify

How assessment and planning work

Check the laboratory method, collection instructions and how the reference ranges were established. The value of a result depends on whether it answers a specific clinical question and changes an appropriate decision.

Before your consultation

Test specification, symptoms, recent antibiotics, probiotics and gastrointestinal investigations.

Send existing records for an initial discussion. Do not arrange new tests, change medication or book non-refundable travel solely from this page. The receiving team should state which additional information is actually needed.

Evidence and limitations

Diet, recent antibiotics and sample handling can influence interpretation. A list of organisms does not by itself identify a disease, prescribe a supplement or justify FMT. Ask what uncertainty is reported with the result.

Questions to ask

Does a microbiome report identify a disease or the right supplement?

A descriptive composition report is not a diagnosis on its own. Ask what the laboratory measures, how results are interpreted and whether any proposed dietary or treatment changes have relevant evidence.

What should be included in my written treatment plan?

The treating team should identify the proposed intervention, alternatives, relevant uncertainty, clinical eligibility, anticipated visits, monitoring and arrangements if the plan changes after assessment. Ask who is responsible for follow-up after you return home.

Price and quotation

Ask for an itemized provider quotation after the clinical team reviews your records. The scope may depend on the exact intervention, investigations, consumables, admission and monitoring. Confirm currency, validity period and what happens if the plan changes. Medical fees are paid directly to the provider; Uwell coordination is separate.
