Amino Acids Qualitative Two Dimensional Urine Test
Comprehensive Metabolic Disorder Screening
The Amino Acids Qualitative Two Dimensional Urine Test represents a cutting-edge diagnostic approach for detecting inborn errors of metabolism through sophisticated urine analysis. This specialized test utilizes advanced two-dimensional thin layer chromatography technology to provide a detailed profile of amino acid excretion patterns, offering clinicians valuable insights into metabolic function and potential genetic disorders affecting amino acid metabolism.
What This Test Measures and Detects
This comprehensive screening test identifies abnormal patterns of amino acid excretion in urine, which can indicate various metabolic disorders including:
- Phenylketonuria (PKU) and related hyperphenylalaninemias
- Maple syrup urine disease (branched-chain ketoaciduria)
- Homocystinuria and cystathioninuria
- Tyrosinemias and related tyrosine metabolism disorders
- Argininosuccinic aciduria and other urea cycle defects
- Non-ketotic hyperglycinemia
- Various organic acidemias affecting amino acid metabolism
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly recommended for individuals presenting with:
- Unexplained developmental delays in infants and children
- Neurological symptoms including seizures, lethargy, or coma
- Failure to thrive or poor weight gain in infancy
- Unusual body odors (sweet, musty, or maple syrup-like)
- Family history of metabolic disorders or unexplained infant deaths
- Abnormal newborn screening results requiring follow-up
- Unexplained metabolic acidosis or hyperammonemia
- Suspected amino acid transport defects
Key Benefits of Testing
- Early Detection: Identifies metabolic disorders before severe complications develop
- Non-Invasive Collection: Simple urine sample eliminates need for blood draws
- Comprehensive Screening: Two-dimensional analysis provides superior pattern recognition
- Rapid Results: Turnaround time of just 2 days for prompt diagnosis
- Cost-Effective: Affordable screening at only $36 USD
- Expert Interpretation: Results reviewed by genetic specialists
Understanding Your Test Results
Your test results will provide a detailed pattern of amino acid excretion, interpreted by our expert genetic metabolic team:
- Normal Pattern: Indicates typical amino acid metabolism without significant abnormalities
- Elevated Specific Amino Acids: May suggest specific enzyme deficiencies or transport defects
- Generalized Aminoaciduria: Could indicate renal tubular dysfunction or generalized metabolic stress
- Characteristic Patterns: Specific combinations may point to particular inborn errors of metabolism
All abnormal results are reviewed by our board-certified geneticists who provide detailed interpretation and recommendations for further evaluation or management.
