Abnormal Carnitine - please help with info

[Guest guest]

These are the results of some testing I had done recently for

carnitine. All parts were " abnormal " .

I don't know what carnitine is or what this indicates. Can someone

please tell me and let me know what I and/or my pcp should do about

it?

Thank you.
