About Amino Acids Blood Test | 34 Amino Acids in Ames
The Amino Acids Blood Panel is a quantitative test that measures 34 amino acids in a blood sample.
Amino acids circulate in the blood at concentrations that reflect dietary intake, metabolic processing, and kidney and liver function. Measuring a broad panel rather than a single amino acid helps characterize patterns that may be clinically meaningful.
Physicians may order this panel when evaluating suspected inherited disorders of amino acid metabolism, such as aminoacidurias and organic acidurias. It can also be used to monitor patients with known metabolic conditions over time.
Results are reported as individual concentrations for each of the 34 amino acids. Because reference ranges vary by age and by laboratory method, results should be interpreted by a qualified healthcare professional in the context of the patient's history and other findings.
