Test information listed below is valid as from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2022
IMPORTANT:
Our methods are based on the creatinine values of urine samples received. Therefore urine creatinine, uric acid and labstix analyses are done standard on ALL URINE SAMPLES received.
The following is a list of all the available tests done at the Potchefstroom Laboratory for Inborn Errors of Metabolism. To open the test information, click on the links below. If you have any questions, or for more information, please contact our laboratory.
