Interpretation of Organic Acid Analysis Results
Keyword(s):
The analysis of organic acids in urine will detect more than 60 inherited conditions, most of which have clinical significance. Some of the abnormalities that are found represent non-diseases or artefacts of dietary/drug manipulations. Not all inherited organic acidemias are associated with excessively high excretion levels; some patients excrete the characteristic organic acids just above the upper normal level. This makes a quantitative analysis of organic acids a prerequisite. Approximately half of the organic acids will form acylcarnitines, therefore the analysis of carnitine and its esters is an important additional test.
