what the risks are urine sample, aminoaciduria urine test, amino acids, urine, urine amino acids, aminoaciduria test screens, increased levels of amino acid excretion, in the urine that indicates possible inborn errors of metabolism, a specific enzyme deficiency, obtain a clean-catch urine sample, males should wipe clean the head, the penis, females need to wipe between the labia, soapy water, rinse well, a special clean-catch kit is provided, cleansing solution, sterile wipes, after urinating a small amount, toilet bowl to clear the urethra of contaminants, collect a sample of urine, clean, sterile container, 1 to 2 ounces of urine is needed, remove the container, urine stream, stopping the flow, finish voiding, toilet bowl, take the sample, lab, infants, infant's genital area, cleaned, dried, a collection device is attached to collect the urine, asked, collect the urine, sure the collection device is attached securely, prevent leakage, after baby has urinated, urine, at least 20 cc, transferred to a sterile container, no restriction of food, fluid, inform health care provider of any medication you, child has used, infant is breast-feeding, having this test performed, inform the health care provider of any medications the mother is taking, test involves only normal urination, this test is performed to assess amino acid levels, in the urine, common, of each amino acid to be, in the urine, elevated levels of individual amino acids indicates a possible inborn enzyme deficiency, test shows increased levels of amino acids, in the urine, a 24-hour quantitative urine chromatography is necessary to accurately measure the elevated levels, the specific amino acids, increased levels also show up, in the blood plasma, plasma amino acids, test is performed early enough on infants, defect is treated, severe mental retardation, result prevented, alanine, children, 65 to 190, adults, 160 to 690, alpha-aminoadipic acid, children, 25 to 78, adults, 0 to 165, alpha-amino-n-butyric acid, children, 7 to 25, adults, 0 to 28, arginine, children, 10 to 25, adults, 13 to 64, asparagine, children, 15 to 40, adults, 34 to 100, aspartic acid, children, 10 to 26, adults, 14 to 89, beta-alanine, children, 0 to 42, adults, 0 to 93, beta-amino-isobutyric acid, children, 25 to 96, adults, 10 to 235, carnosine, children, 34 to 220, adults, 16 to 125, citrulline, children, 0 to 13, adults, 0 to 11, cystine, children, 11 to 53, adults, 28 to 115, glutamic acid, children, 13 to 22, adults, 27 to 105, glutamine, children, 150 to 400, adults, 300 to 1,040, glycine, children, 195 to 855, adults, 750 to 2,400, histidine, children, 46 to 725, adults, 500 to 1,500, hydroxyproline, children, not measured, adults, not measured, isoleucine, children, 3 to 15, adults, 4 to 23, leucine, children, 9 to 23, adults, 20 to 77, lysine, children, 19 to 140, adults, 32 to 290, methionine, children, 7 to 20, adults, 5 to 30, 1-methylhistidine, children, 41 to 300, adults, 68 to 855, 3-methylhistidine, children, 42 to 135, adults, 64 to 320, ornithine, children, 3 to 16, adults, 5 to 70, phenylalanine, children, 20 to 61, adults, 36 to 90, phosphoserine, children, 16 to 34, adults, 28 to 95, phosphoethanolamine, children, 24 to 66, adults, 17 to 95, proline, children, not measured, adults, not measured, serine, children, 93 to 210, adults, 200 to 695, taurine, children, 62 to 970, adults, 267 to 1,290, threonine, children, 25 to 100, adults, 80 to 320, tyrosine, children, 30 to 83, adults, 38 to 145, valine, children, 17 to 37, adults, 19 to 74, comparison is necessary, the plasma amino acids to develop a complete picture, the aminoacidurias, all measurements in micro mole per deciliter, micro mol/dl, increased total urine amino acids, indicate any, alkaptonuria, canavan disease, cystinosis, cystathioninuria, fructose intolerance, galactosemia, hartnup disease, homocystinuria, hyperammonemia, hyperparathyroidism, maple syrup urine disease, methylmalonic acidemia, multiple myeloma, ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency, osteomalacia, propionic acidemia, rickets, tyrosinemia type 1, tyrosinemia type 2, viral hepatitis, wilson's disease in infants, collection device, removed, prevent irritation, failure to have the urine sample promptly evaluated, in the laboratory alters the results, test is ineffective, neonate, first six weeks after birth, who has not ingested dietary protein, in the last 48 hours.
