Carnitine Serum Test
Introduction
The Carnitine Serum Test is a vital diagnostic tool used to assess carnitine levels in the blood. Carnitine plays a crucial role in the body’s energy production by transporting fatty acids into the mitochondria, where they are burned for energy. A deficiency in carnitine can lead to serious metabolic disorders, making this test essential for early diagnosis and management.

This test primarily measures the levels of Carnitine and Acylcarnitine in the serum. Abnormal levels can indicate metabolic dysfunctions, particularly in the context of inherited metabolic disorders.
