Organics Acid Test

[Guest guest]

Is this a test that Dr. G normally runs?

We see him on Jan. 31st for the first time. I just received the

results of an Organics Acid Test run by Noah's peds gastro back in

August, and I find the whole thing rather confusing. Specifically,

Noah shows high levels of 2-oxoglutaric (alpha ketoglutaric acid), 3-

hydoxysobutyric, 3-hydroxypropionic, and some others that were mildly

elevated. Under amino acides, he was extremely high in alanine and

very low in tryptophan.

Does anyone have a resource that I can use to make sense of this

stuff? Under " Interpretation, " all it says is that the pattern of the

results is not indicative of an inherited metabolic disorder. But

what about other issues with the metabolism? Seems to me that more

than 5 times the level of 2-oxoglutaric in your system might throw

something out of whack, especially when low levels are associated

with a decrease in autistic symptoms.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,

Robyn
