Metabo Test
Inborn Metabolic Diseases Test
Indications for the Metabo Test®
This test is designed to test for congenital metabolic diseases in children, such as peroxisomal diseases, neuro-transmitter diseases, urea cycle defects etc.. These diseases are commonly hereditary and are passed on by autosomal recessive mechanisms. Thus, this test is particularly recommended for use as a screening test for children. However, adults, for instance those suffering from food allergies attributed to metabolic deficiencies, are also a target group.
Principle for Metabo Test®
Several metabolic products in the urine are measured to diagnose a variety of metabolic diseases. As only a urine sample is needed for evaluation, no prescription is needed for this product. The test is evaluated by NMR spectroscopy.
