Short Name: MTHFRSample required: EDTA Whole BloodResult Time: 3 Days Methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is one of the enzymes involved in the metabolism of the sulfur-containing amino acid, homocysteine. A specific point mutation (C677T) in the MTHFR gene gives rise to a heat-sensitive enzyme with reduced activity. Patients with this deficiency present with homocysteinuria and

In normal subjects, albumin secretion in the urine is enhanced by smoking, drinking, a high-protein diet and intense

Read moreShort Name: METASample required: SerumResult Time: 5 Days This test measures the amount of metanephrines that are excreted in the urine over a 24-hour period. Metanephrines are the inactive metabolites of the catecholamines epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine. The metanephrine test can be used to help detect the presence of pheochromocytomas.
