This test examines abnormal metabolites in the urine. To obtain the most information from this test, we recommend that the urine sample be accompanied by an EDTA blood and a serum sample and, very important, the patient’s clinical information.

The methylmalonic acid test examines the patient’s urine for possible B12 deficiency. It is very important that the urine is obtained before the patient receives parenteral cobalamin, because it would correct the biochemical abnormalities within days leading to a false negative result.

This test looks for excessive amounts of non-specific glycosaminoglycans in the urine, which may indicate the presence of mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS) in a patient. Only urine is needed for this test and please include clinical information. If there is a high suspicion of an MPS or another storage disorder present in a patient and/or a diagnosis of a specific enzyme deficiency is desired, we would recommend choosing a Metabolic Screening/Storage Disorder Test.

This test requires 1 ml of serum. If possible, please send a control serum from a same species animal. Panel I tests for alpha-L- iduronidase (mucopolysaccharidosis type I), arylsulfatase B (MPS VI), beta-glucuronidase (MPS VII), and hexosaminidase A (marker for MPS disorders. These are enzyme assays and thus not species or breed specific. The results can also indicate if patient has mucolipidosis type II/III. Enzyme assays for MPS IIIA and IIIB can be performed upon request.

This test requires 1 ml of serum. If possible, please submit serum from a same species control animal. Enzyme panel II is for animals with neurological storage diseases. The following enzymes are included: alpha-mannosidase tests for alpha-mannosidosis; ß-mannosidase tests for ß-mannosidosis; ß-galactosidase tests for GM1-gangliosidosis; ß-hexosaminidase tests for one form of GM2-gangliosidosis and hexosaminidase A for the other form; alpha-fucosidase tests for alpha-fucosidosis).
