This test measures the amount of lysine, an essential amino acid, present in urine.
- To detect and monitor the severity of metabolic disorders or inborn errors of metabolism, such as cystinuria and lysinuric protein intolerance.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of treatments for these conditions.
The test is recommended when a doctor suspects that a patient has cystinuria or lysinuric protein intolerance based on their symptoms or medical history. Patients with a family history of metabolic disorders or inborn errors of metabolism are more likely to be recommended for this test.
Elevated levels in urine may indicate cystinuria or lysinuric protein intolerance. Abnormal results do not necessarily mean that you have these conditions, so you will need to discuss your test results with your doctor, who will interpret them along with other diagnostic tests.
A small amount of your urine will need to be collected in a container. The test requires a one-time urine sample or multiple urine samples collected over 24 hours.
To prepare for this test, your doctor may recommend fasting, as it can affect lysine levels in the body. You may also be required to stop taking amino acid supplementation or medications based on physician recommendations. It is advisable to consult your healthcare provider to determine if there are any particular requirements you should be aware of.
