Important Note

Cerner Order Name:   Send-out Other

Secondary ID

64889

Useful For

Screening for selected oligosaccharidosis

Method Name

Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption/Ionization Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS)

Oligosaccharide Screen, U

Specimen Type

Urine


Ordering Guidance


This is the recommended test when clinical features are suggestive of, or when molecular testing results suggest, an oligosaccharidosis disorder that can be identified by this test.

 

The recommended screening test for the initial workup of a suspected lysosomal storage disorder, particularly when clinical features are nonspecific, is LSDS / Lysosomal Storage Disorders Screen, Random, Urine.



Necessary Information


1. Patient's age is required.
