Overview of Urinary Glycosaminoglycans (GAG) Quantitation in Kollam

What is the Urine Glycosaminoglycans test?

This test measures glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) in the urine to screen for mucopolysaccharidoses (MPS), a group of metabolic disorders.


Why is this test done?

It helps diagnose inherited disorders where the body can't properly break down GAGs, leading to their accumulation in tissues.


How is the test performed?

A random or 24-hour urine sample is tested using colorimetric or chromatographic assays.


What do the results mean?

Elevated GAG levels suggest possible MPS. Additional confirmatory genetic or enzymatic tests may be required.


Are there any precautions or preparations required?

No special preparation is required.
