Alnus rhombifolia Ab.IgE
Measures the level of alpha aminoadipate, an amino acid, in urine.
Why This Biomarker Matters
Abnormal levels in newborns can indicate inherited metabolic disorders requiring early treatment to prevent serious complications.
Overview
Alpha aminoadipate is an amino acid measured in urine, primarily used in newborn screening for inherited metabolic disorders affecting amino acid processing. Elevated levels can indicate disorders of lysine metabolism or other genetic conditions affecting how the body breaks down certain amino acids. This test is part of expanded newborn screening programs to identify treatable metabolic diseases early, before symptoms develop. It's rarely ordered in adults unless specific metabolic disease is suspected.
