What does this test Disorders Of Fatty Acid Oxidation Test identify?

This test identifies disorders of fatty acid oxidation, which are a group of rare genetic metabolic disorders that prevent the body from properly breaking down fats to produce energy. These disorders can lead to symptoms such as hypoglycemia, muscle weakness, and liver dysfunction.

Why is this test Disorders Of Fatty Acid Oxidation Test taken?

The Disorders of Fatty Acid Oxidation Test is taken to diagnose inherited metabolic disorders that affect the body's ability to break down fatty acids for energy production. These disorders can result in a buildup of toxic substances in the body, leading to symptoms such as hypoglycemia, metabolic acidosis, liver dysfunction, and muscle weakness.

This test is typically recommended for individuals who present with symptoms suggestive of a fatty acid oxidation disorder, such as recurrent episodes of hypoglycemia or metabolic acidosis, especially during times of fasting or illness. It may also be ordered for newborns through newborn screening programs to detect these disorders early on.

Early detection and treatment of fatty acid oxidation disorders are important to prevent serious complications and improve long-term outcomes. The test involves analyzing levels of specific fatty acids and acylcarnitines in blood or urine samples to identify abnormalities that may indicate a fatty acid oxidation disorder.
