Carnitine Blood Test, LC/MS/MS

* This is not a home test kit. You will need to visit a local lab for testing.

Use:

This test is used to measure the amount of carnitine in your blood, assessing how much usable carnitine you have.  Carnitine is a compound that exists in almost every part of your body and helps your body digest fatty acids. Without it, you body cannot turn fats into energy and uses the sugar in your blood for energy instead causing low blood sugar, weakness, fatigue and anemia.

Recommended For:

Those who experience failure to thrive, hypotonia, chronic muscle weakness, cardiomyopathy, intermittent episodes of weakness and encephalopathy, renal Fanconi’s syndrome, hypoglycemic episodes, metabolic acidosis, or hypoketotic dicarboxylic acidurias; Those who are currently being treated for type 2 diabetes, cancer, an enlarged heart, or kidney disease.
