Complex cases
When one explanation does not account for the whole picture, we determine which interacting causes are driving the symptoms and in what order they should be addressed.
Explore clinical care In-depth guideClinical overview · five care areas
We identify the primary root cause — or the decisive combination.
Clinical assessment, established diagnostics and carefully selected functional laboratory tests are used to determine which causes are driving the symptoms.
Care areas
Five entry points. The same clinical discipline.
Each area starts with the clinical question, the health history and what is already known. The next step is chosen for its ability to change the assessment or plan — not for the number of tests available.
IBS & gut health
Symptoms, previous investigations, diet, medication and alarm signs shape the next step. A test does not establish a diagnosis on its own.
Explore clinical care In-depth guidePersistent fatigue
Fatigue has many possible explanations. We narrow the question, consider the context and assess what should be investigated further.
Explore clinical care In-depth guideWomen’s & hormonal health
Concerns are assessed in relation to life stage, symptom pattern, medication and previous care. A test is selected only when there is a clinical question.
Explore clinical care In-depth guideIV & IM treatment
Indication, risks, contraindications, dose and route are assessed individually before intravenous or intramuscular treatment.
Explore clinical care In-depth guideClinical approach
From a broad story to one bounded next step.
A complex case needs a clear question, a safety assessment and an ordered plan for diagnostics, treatment and clinical follow-up.
Important boundary: new, acute or serious symptoms should be assessed by standard or emergency care. This overview does not replace an individual medical assessment.
-
Define the question
We review symptoms, timeline, previous care, medication and what the patient needs to understand.
-
Prioritise safety
Alarm signs, a different level of care and anything that should not be delayed come before deeper analysis.
-
Choose targeted diagnostics
Established diagnostics and selected functional laboratory tests are used to determine which causes are driving the symptoms and guide the next decision.
-
Follow up and reconsider
Treatment response is individual. The plan is monitored clinically against symptoms, tolerance and relevant findings and reconsidered when needed.
MediBalans proprietary framework
GCR reveals what is driving the case — and what is compensation.
Global Constraint Rule (GCR) is MediBalans's proprietary clinical systems-biology framework. GCR is not a test. It is the method our clinicians use to understand medical history, clinical findings and diagnostics as one connected system.
When several abnormalities appear together, some may be primary drivers, others the body's compensations and others downstream consequences. GCR helps us distinguish these roles, so that more findings do not automatically become more treatments.
In almost every case, we identify the primary root cause or the decisive combination of causes. Treatment response is individual and monitored clinically; that does not weaken our diagnostic ambition or confidence in the clinical work.
Related systems-biology parallel — not patient validation of GCR: Yamagishi & Hatakeyama, PNAS (2025).
-
01
Separate drivers from compensations
We assess which findings can explain the broadest part of the symptom pattern and which are more likely to be secondary adaptations or consequences.
-
02
Choose diagnostics that decide something
History, clinical assessment and established medical diagnostics define the question. Functional laboratory tests are selected when an answer can change the interpretation or plan.
-
03
Treat in the right order
The constraint driving the system is prioritised before secondary problems. The sequence is adapted to safety, tolerance, clinical findings and follow-up.
Our boundaries
Tools and support should never become larger than the clinical question.
We distinguish clinical assessment, laboratory tools and digital support. That makes clear what each part contributes and where its responsibility ends.
Tests
Tests are tools
A result is interpreted in its clinical context. Testing should answer a bounded question and is not, by itself, a diagnosis or a guarantee of treatment effect.
Meet Mario
Supports clinic protocols
Meet Mario supports MediBalans clinical protocols between planned contacts. The digital support does not replace individual assessment or clinical decisions.
Genova retail
A separate order pathway
A Genova test purchased directly through the webshop is separate from MediBalans clinical care and includes one complimentary month with Mario.
