HelpTest Code MPSQU Mucopolysaccharides Quantitative, Random, Urine
Ordering Guidance
This test alone is not appropriate for the diagnosis of a specific mucopolysaccharidosis (MPS). Follow-up enzymatic or molecular genetic testing must be performed to confirm a diagnosis of an MPS.
Necessary Information
1. Patient's age is required.
2. Reason for testing is required.
3. Biochemical Genetics Patient Information (T602) is recommended. This information aids in providing a more thorough interpretation of results. Send information with specimen.
Specimen Required
Patient Preparation: Do not administer low-molecular weight heparin prior to collection
Supplies: Sarstedt Aliquot Tube, 5 mL (T914)
Container/Tube: Plastic, 5-mL urine tube
Specimen Volume: 2 mL
Pediatric Volume: 1 mL
Collection Instructions: Collect a random urine specimen (early morning preferred).
Forms
1. Biochemical Genetics Patient Information (T602)
2. If not ordering electronically, complete, print, and send a Biochemical Genetics Test Request (T798) with the specimen.
Useful For
Supporting the biochemical diagnosis of one of the mucopolysaccharidoses: types I, II, III, IV, VI, or VII
Testing Algorithm
For more information see the following:
-Lysosomal Storage Disorders Diagnostic Algorithm, Part 1
-Newborn Screening Follow up for Mucopolysaccharidosis type II
If the patient has abnormal newborn screening result for mucopolysaccharidosis type I, immediate action should be taken. Refer to the appropriate American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics Newborn Screening ACT Sheet.(1)
