Test Overview
Test Methodology

Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectromety (GC/MS) Stable Isotope Dilution Analysis

Test Usage

Biochemical diagnosis of selected inborn errors of metabolism by quantitative determination of target urinary metabolites that are present in amounts below the detection limit of routine organic acid analysis.

Reference Range *

Interpretive report provided.

* Reference ranges may change over time. Please refer to the original patient report when evaluating results.

Test Limitations

Due to the limited number of metabolites included in the acylglycine analysis, it is recommended that an "Organic Acids Screen, Urine" also be performed concurrently.
