What is Asymmetric Dimethylarginine (ADMA)?
The Asymmetric Dimethylarginine (ADMA) test measures the level of a naturally occurring substance in your blood that can affect the health of your blood vessels. ADMA is a marker that helps assess your risk for cardiovascular diseases by interfering with nitric oxide, a molecule crucial for relaxing blood vessels.
Why is this test important?
Elevated ADMA levels are associated with an increased risk of heart disease, stroke, and kidney disease. This test can be valuable in identifying individuals at higher risk for cardiovascular events, even those without traditional risk factors. It helps healthcare providers assess endothelial dysfunction and guide preventive strategies.
How to Prepare
Fasting for 8-12 hours is typically required before this blood test. Please confirm specific instructions with your healthcare provider.
