Unit Code 8780:
Alpha-L-Iduronidase, Fibroblasts
Useful For 
Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis of Hurler and Scheie syndromes
Genetics Test Information Provides information that may help with selection of the correct test or proper submission of the test request
Diagnostic testing. Not recommended for carrier detection.
Fibroblasts are the preferred specimen since testing for other
mucopolysaccharide storage diseases may be necessary.
Additional Tests Lists test(s) that are always performed, at an additional charge, with the initial test(s)
| Unit Code | Reporting Name | Available Separately | Always Performed |
| 8482 | Fibroblast Culture | Yes | Yes |
| 88832 | Cryopreserve for Biochem Studies | No | Yes |
Testing Algorithm Delineates situation(s) when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
When this test is ordered, a fibroblast culture and cryopreservation for
biochemical studies will always be performed at an additional charge.
However, for multiple lysosomal enzyme assays on a patient utilizing
fibroblast culture, only 1 culture is required regardless of the number
of enzyme assays ordered. If viable cells are not obtained within
10 days, client will be notified.
