What is Homocysteine Qualitative, Urine?

This urine test checks for the presence of homocysteine, an amino acid, in your urine. It's primarily used as a screening tool to detect unusually high levels that might indicate a metabolic issue.

Why is this test important?

Elevated homocysteine in urine can be a sign of homocystinuria, a rare genetic disorder that affects how the body processes certain amino acids. Early detection is important for managing potential health complications.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
