What is Citrulline?

The Citrulline test measures the level of citrulline, an amino acid, in your blood. Citrulline is produced in the small intestine and plays a role in various bodily functions.

Why is this test important?

Abnormal citrulline levels can indicate issues with intestinal function, such as malabsorption or damage to the small bowel. It can also be used to monitor certain metabolic disorders or conditions affecting gut health.

How to Prepare

Fasting for 8-12 hours may be required. Please confirm with your healthcare provider.
