The AMINO ACIDS QUANTITATIVE BLOOD 10 AMINO ACIDS Test measures the levels of 10 specific amino acids in the blood. These amino acids include:
- Alanine
- Arginine
- Citrulline
- Glycine
- Leucine
- Methionine
- Ornithine
- Phenylalanine
- Tyrosine
- Valine
This test is primarily used to evaluate amino acid metabolism disorders, such as phenylketonuria, maple syrup urine disease, and homocystinuria. It can also help diagnose liver diseases, kidney diseases, and certain genetic disorders.
The test involves taking a blood sample from the patient, which is then sent to our laboratory for analysis. The levels of each amino acid are measured and compared to normal reference ranges to determine if any abnormalities are present.
Interpretation of the results should be done by a healthcare professional, as they will consider the patient’s medical history and other factors to provide an accurate diagnosis.
