Unit Code 81934:
Amino Acids, Quantitative, Spinal Fluid
Useful For 
Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Evaluating patients with possible inborn errors of amino acid
metabolism, in particular nonketotic hyperglycemia and serine
biosynthesis defects, especially when used in conjunction with
concomitantly drawn plasma specimens
Genetics Test Information Provides information that may help with selection of the correct test or proper submission of the test request
This test must be ordered in conjunction with #9265 "Amino Acids
Quantitative Ion-Exchange, Plasma." The specimens for both tests
(#9265 and #81934) must be collected at the same time.
