Test Overview
Enzymatic
Assessing the body pool size of oxalate.
< or = 2.0 mcmol/L. Reference values have not been established for patients under 21 and greater than 81 years of age.
* Reference ranges may change over time. Please refer to the original patient report when evaluating results.
Because increased production and decreased excretion rates of oxalate can increase the plasma oxalate concentration, the interpretation of any given plasma value must consider the patient's clinical setting.
