What is Urinary Leucine?

This test measures the amount of leucine, an essential branched-chain amino acid, present in your urine. It provides insights into your body's protein and amino acid metabolism.

Why is this test important?

Elevated urinary leucine can be a marker for certain inherited metabolic disorders, most notably Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD). This test is vital for early diagnosis and management of such critical conditions.

How to Prepare

You may be asked to fast for a certain period before collection or follow specific dietary restrictions. Detailed instructions will be provided upon booking.
