: help with lab results

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I finally got my lab results back and wondered if you guys might have some knowledge on these for me:

I will only post the abnormal results...

amino acids, urine

Test patient result normal range

Taurine 41 (42-209)

threonine 12.2 (14-41)

serine 22.6 (27-75)

glutamic acid 1.6 (4.4-37.3)

2-aminoadipic 3.7 (4.5-12.4)

Alanine 16.0 (27.1-75.7)

2-aminobutyric 0.1 (0.9-5.7)

cystine 3.4 (4.9-24.7)

methionine 3.4 ( 4.3-23.7)

tyrosine 1.9 (3.4-17.0 )

phenylalanine 5.0 ( 10.0-32.8 )

beta alanine 0 (1.0-14.7 )

Ornithine 1.0 (2.3-9.0 )

lysine 4.8 ( 16.4-71.6 )

1-methylhistidine 15.6 ( 19.2-198.8 )

histidine 24.5 ( 52-161 )

carnosine 0.0 ( 1.1-10.3)

arginine 0.9 ( 1.1-10.2 )

Organic acids: plasma

lactic acid Normal 1688 ( 600-2600 )

Pyruvate 198 ( 28-140 )

3-OH- Butyric acid 113 ( 0-30 )

succinic acid 7 ( 16-25 )

Interpretation:

Ketonuria.....catabolic state.

Interpretation depends on clinical interpretation. this test may miss disorders characterized by intermittent metabolite excretion and the following metabolites were poorly evaluated due to very high adjoining peak levels of glycerol, homogenistic acid, orotic acid, oxalic acid.

sorry this got so long...wanna hear something funny...when I called the docs office to get results they said the doc said they were all normal. I however requested a copy of the labs anyway

thanks for the help
