What is Amino Acids - Quantitative Urine?

This test measures the levels of various amino acids in a single urine sample. It helps assess kidney function and detect conditions where amino acids are not properly reabsorbed or are excessively excreted.

Why is this test important?

Elevated amino acid levels in urine can point to kidney tubular defects, certain inherited metabolic disorders, or conditions affecting amino acid transport. It aids in early diagnosis and management.

How to Prepare

No special preparation is typically required. Follow any specific instructions given by your healthcare provider for urine collection.
