Know More about CARNITINE, SERUM
The Carnitine Serum Test measures the amount of carnitine in your blood. Carnitine is an important nutrient that helps your body turn fat into energy that can be used for various functions. The reason this testing is recommended is because low levels of carnitine can cause fatigue, muscle weakness, and other potential health problems. Additionally, it helps doctors rule out certain genetic (inherited) or metabolic conditions and monitor whether conditions affect energy use in the body.
Process
- A blood sample will be taken from your vein by our phlebotomist.
- The blood sample will be separated into serum.
- The serum will be sent to the lab for carnitine analysis.
When to Get Tested
You may need this blood test done if you are experiencing unexplained muscle weakness, fatigue, or low blood sugar, or your doctor believes it may be helpful if they suspect a metabolic or genetic condition that affects your fat metabolism.
Sample Type
This test will require a small blood sample (serum) taken from you by a healthcare professional with the collection of blood from a vein.
Test Preparation
There is usually no special preparation or fasting required. Let your doctor know about medications or supplements you may be taking since they can impact results.
Understanding the Results
Normal levels of carnitine indicate that fats are being used properly for energy in your body. Low levels may mean a deficiency exists which requires more information to evaluate and treat, based on symptoms and further tests.
