Test Code PUPYU Purines and Pyrimidines Panel, Random, Urine

Reporting Name

Purines and Pyrimidines Panel, U

Performing Laboratory

Mayo Clinic Laboratories in Rochester

Useful For

Evaluating patients with symptoms suspicious for disorders of purine and pyrimidine metabolism

 

Monitoring patients with disorders of purine and pyrimidine metabolism

 

Laboratory evaluation of primary and secondary hyperuricemias

Method Name

Liquid Chromatography Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)


Ordering Guidance


This is recommended screening test for the initial workup of a suspected disorder of purine and pyrimidine metabolism, particularly when clinical features are nonspecific, and includes measurement of purines, pyrimidines, uric acid, and S-sulfocysteine. If the clinical features are suggestive of molybdenum cofactor deficiency, isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency, and hereditary xanthinuria, order SSCTU / S-Sulfocysteine Panel, Urine.

 

If this test is ordered with SSCTU, then SSCTU will be canceled.

Interpretation

Abnormal concentrations of measurable compounds will be reported along with an interpretation. The interpretation of an abnormal metabolite pattern includes an overview of the results and of their significance, a correlation to available clinical information, possible differential diagnosis, recommendations for additional biochemical testing and confirmatory studies (enzyme assay, molecular analysis), name and phone number of contacts who may provide these studies, and a phone number of the laboratory directors in case the referring physician has additional questions.

Test Classification

This test was developed and its performance characteristics determined by Mayo Clinic in a manner consistent with CLIA requirements. It has not been cleared or approved by the US Food and Drug Administration.
