Urine Screening for Metabolic Disorders Flashcards
Two types of aminoaciduria
Overflow type
Renal type
Increase Amino acid in blood
Increase Amino acid in urine
Ex. PKU, MSUD
Overflow type
Normal Amino acid in blood
Increase Amino acid in urine
*defect in tubular reabsorption
Ex. Cystinuria, Fanconi’s syndrome
Renal type
- for identifying metabolism disorder.
- for early detection and treatment
