Aminoaciduria
Alternative names:
amino acids - urine; urine amino acids
What the risks are:
In infants, the collection device should be removed carefully to prevent irritation.
Special considerations:
Failure to have the urine sample promptly evaluated in the laboratory alters the results of the test. This test is ineffective in a neonate (the first six weeks after birth) who has not ingested dietary protein in the last 48 hours.
