Overview
Mucopolysaccharides are complex molecules that play a crucial role in maintaining healthy connective tissues, bones, and organs. The Mucopolysaccharide (MPS) test is a diagnostic test used to detect and diagnose mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS), which are a group of rare inherited lysosomal storage disorders. MPS is caused by the deficiency or malfunction of specific enzymes responsible for breaking down complex sugar molecules called mucopolysaccharides or glycosaminoglycans (GAGs).

Frequently Asked Questions
The mucopolysaccharide test measures the levels of mucopolysaccharides in your urine.
- To diagnose and monitor mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS)
- To assess treatment effectiveness
- To evaluate the risk of developing complications associated with these disorders
The Mucopolysaccharide Test may be recommended if you have symptoms suggestive of mucopolysaccharide storage disorders, such as skeletal abnormalities, joint stiffness, heart problems, or developmental delays. It may also be advised if you have a family history of these disorders or if you are undergoing treatment for them.
Abnormal results may indicate the presence of a mucopolysaccharide storage disorder. However, further diagnostic tests and evaluation by a specialist are necessary for an accurate diagnosis.
You will be required to provide a sample of spot urine, which is a small amount of urine collected at a specific time. The laboratory will analyse the urine sample using biochemical methods to measure the levels of mucopolysaccharides present.
Follow any instructions provided by your doctor regarding dietary restrictions or medication adjustments. Also, tell your doctor if you have any specific requirements.
- Genetic Testing: This test helps in identifying specific genetic mutations associated with mucopolysaccharide storage disorders.
- Enzyme Activity Tests: These tests measure the activity levels of specific enzymes involved in the breakdown of mucopolysaccharides.
Urine MPS Test or Urine Glycosaminoglycan (GAG) Test
Mucopolysaccharide storage disorders are genetic conditions that result in the buildup of mucopolysaccharides in various tissues and organs. These disorders can lead to a wide range of symptoms and complications, including skeletal abnormalities, organ dysfunction, and developmental delays. Early diagnosis and management are crucial for the best possible outcomes.
