Amino Acid Profile (35)

The Amino Acid Profile (35) is used for the diagnosis of metabolic disorders by measuring the levels of amino acids in the blood. The results help monitor the levels of amino acids in the body and diagnose inborn errors of metabolic diseases, like Maple syrup urine disease, urea cycle defects, phenylketonuria and Hartnup disease, which are caused by an imbalance in amino acid levels. This test also helps in monitoring the prognosis during treatment. The report includes personalised amino acid recommendations based on amino acid levels and functional vitamin and mineral cofactor recommendations based on amino acid metabolism.
