What is Arginine Quantitative Serum?

The Arginine Quantitative Serum test measures the precise amount of arginine, an essential amino acid, present in your blood serum. Arginine is vital for many bodily functions, including protein synthesis and nitric oxide production.

Why is this test important?

This test is used to investigate metabolic disorders, particularly urea cycle disorders, and to assess nutritional status. Abnormal levels can indicate underlying health issues affecting amino acid metabolism or kidney function.

How to Prepare

Fasting for 8-12 hours is usually required before the blood sample is taken.
