What does this test Ornithine Quantitative Plasma Test identify?

  1. Ornithine Quantitative Plasma Test:
    • This test measures the level of ornithine in the blood plasma.
    • Ornithine is an amino acid that plays a crucial role in the urea cycle, a process that helps the body eliminate ammonia, a waste product of protein metabolism.
    • Elevated levels of ornithine in the blood plasma may indicate a deficiency in an enzyme involved in the urea cycle, leading to a buildup of ammonia in the body.
    • Low levels of ornithine may be seen in conditions like ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency, a rare genetic disorder that affects the urea cycle.
    • The Ornithine Quantitative Plasma Test helps in the diagnosis and monitoring of disorders related to the urea cycle.

Why is this test Ornithine Quantitative Plasma Test taken?

The Ornithine Quantitative Plasma Test is taken to measure the level of ornithine in the blood. Ornithine is an amino acid that plays a role in the urea cycle, which is responsible for removing ammonia from the body. Elevated levels of ornithine can indicate a genetic disorder known as ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) deficiency, which impairs the body's ability to break down ammonia.

Individuals with OTC deficiency may experience symptoms such as confusion, seizures, and liver damage. The test is often ordered when a healthcare provider suspects a patient may have OTC deficiency based on their symptoms and medical history. Early detection of OTC deficiency is important for prompt treatment and management of the condition.
