Test Code SSCTU S-Sulfocysteine Panel, Urine


Ordering Guidance


This is the recommended test when clinical features are suggestive of, or when molecular testing results suggest, molybdenum cofactor deficiency, isolated sulfite oxidase deficiency, and hereditary xanthinuria. This test includes measurement of relevant purines in addition to urine S-sulfocysteine and uric acid. If the clinical features are suggestive of a purine and pyrimidine metabolism disorder or are nonspecific, order PUPYU / Purine and Pyrimidines Panel, Random, Urine.

  This test will be canceled if ordered with PUPYU.
