Test Code MPSQU Mucopolysaccharides Quantitative, Random, Urine


Ordering Guidance


This test alone is not appropriate for the diagnosis of a specific mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS). Follow-up enzymatic or molecular genetic testing must be performed to confirm a diagnosis of an MPS.



Necessary Information


1. Patient's age is required.

2. Reason for testing is required.

3. Biochemical Genetics Patient Information (T602) is recommended. This information aids in providing a more thorough interpretation of results. Send information with specimen.

Testing Algorithm

For more information see the following:

-Lysosomal Storage Disorders Diagnostic Algorithm, Part 1

-Newborn Screening Follow up for Mucopolysaccharidosis type II

 

If the patient has abnormal newborn screening result for mucopolysaccharidosis type I, immediate action should be taken. Refer to the appropriate American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics Newborn Screening ACT Sheet.(1)

Useful For

Supporting the biochemical diagnosis of one of the mucopolysaccharidoses: types I, II, III, IV, VI, or VII

Reject Due To

  All specimens will be evaluated at Mayo Clinic Laboratories for test suitability.
