Objective

The participant will:

Content

  • Distinguish between overflow and renal disorders.

Overflow Versus Renal Disorders

  • Indicate the methodology currently used to perform most newborn screening tests.
  • Identify the status of specific gene testing methods used for detecting inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs).

Newborn Screening Tests

  • List characteristics of phenylketonuria.
  • Match the type of tyrosinemia with its associated enzyme deficiency.
  • Name the defect associated with the failure to inherit the enzyme that produces homogentisic acid oxidase.
  • List the amino acids associated with maple syrup urine disease (MSUD).
  • Distinguish between disorders detected in urinalysis.
  • Name the amino acid associated with the excretion of indican metabolites and 5-hydroxindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA).
  • Name diseases associated with the excretion of indican metabolites and 5-HIAA.
  • Match the disorder to a physical characteristic of a urine specimen.
  • Specify the cause of cystinuria.
  • Identify the cause of cystinosis.
  • List the amino acid associated with homocystinuria.

Amino Acid Disorders

  • Recognize the origin of porphyrins.
  • Identify findings that might indicate the presence of porphyrinuria in a patient.
  • List the test(s) currently used for the evaluation of porphyrin compounds.
  • Name the best specimen to use when identifying a specific porphyrin.

Porphyrin Disorders

  • Identify features of mucopolysaccharide disorders.
  • Name the test(s) used to diagnose mucopolysaccharide disorders.

Mucopolysaccharide Disorders

  • Specify the significance of finding uric acid crystals in a pediatric urine.

Purine Disorders

 

  • Identify the significance of finding positive copper reducing substances in a urine specimen with a negative glucose oxidase urine test strip.
  • Name the enzyme that can cause fatal galactosuria in infants.

Carbohydrate Disorders

 

This course meets the Florida one-hour specialty requirement in clinical chemistry.

For those certified by ASCP, this course provides two contact hours in clinical chemistry.

In "Urine Screening for Metabolic Disorders" you will read about:

  • Various types of metabolic disorders that may be discovered through blood and urine screening tests in newborns and in older children with physical findings suggestive of metabolic disorders.
  • Physical findings and physiological abnormalities associated with specific metabolic disorders.
  • Laboratory testing used in the screening for, and confirmation of, metabolic disorders.
