Test Code PUPYP Purines and Pyrimidines Panel, Plasma


Ordering Guidance


The preferred test to rule-out inherited disorders of purine and pyrimidine metabolism is PUPYU / Purines and Pyrimidines Panel, Random, Urine.

 

This test does not evaluate succinyladenosine. If succinyladenosine analysis is needed, order PUPYU / Purines and Pyrimidines Panel, Random, Urine.



Necessary Information


Patient's age is required.



Specimen Required


Collection Container/Tube: Lavender top (EDTA)

Submission Container/Tube: Plastic vial

Specimen Volume: 0.5 mL

Collection Instructions:

1. Centrifuge at 4° C and aliquot plasma into plastic vial.

2. Send plasma frozen.
