What does this test Disorders Of Amino Acid & Peptide Metabolism Test identify?

  • Disorders of Amino Acid Metabolism: This test helps identify conditions where the body is unable to properly break down or utilize certain amino acids, leading to a buildup of these compounds in the blood or urine. Examples include phenylketonuria (PKU), maple syrup urine disease, and homocystinuria.
  • Disorders of Peptide Metabolism: This test can also detect abnormalities in the processing of peptides, which are chains of amino acids. Conditions such as cystinuria and glutaric aciduria fall under this category.

Why is this test Disorders Of Amino Acid & Peptide Metabolism Test taken?

Reasons for taking Disorders Of Amino Acid & Peptide Metabolism Test

There are several reasons why a person may need to take a Disorders Of Amino Acid & Peptide Metabolism Test. Some of the common reasons include:

  1. Diagnosing genetic disorders: This test can help diagnose various genetic disorders that affect amino acid and peptide metabolism, such as phenylketonuria, maple syrup urine disease, and homocystinuria.
  2. Monitoring treatment: For individuals already diagnosed with a metabolic disorder, this test can be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment and make any necessary adjustments.
  3. Screening newborns: Newborn screening programs often include tests for amino acid and peptide metabolism disorders to detect them early and start treatment as soon as possible.
