Amino Acid Panel, Plasma

$736.02 Member price $1030.43 Non-member
Excellent 4.8 out of 5

A broad read on circulating amino acids, used to flag metabolic disorders and assess protein nutrition.

Consider this test if:

  • Following up an abnormal newborn screen or symptoms suggesting an inborn error of metabolism
  • Monitoring a known metabolic disorder and the diet or treatment managing it
  • Assessing protein and nutritional status in malnutrition, malabsorption, or restrictive diets
  • HSA/FSA eligible
  • Results delivered to your dashboard · Reviewed by a real clinician
  • Drawn at a CLIA/CAP-accredited lab near you ·
Pre-test considerations

Fasting is typically required, usually an overnight fast of about 12 hours, since recent protein intake markedly shifts amino acid levels. Draw timing matters: collect in a consistent fasting state for comparable results over time. Note any amino acid or protein supplements, as these can raise specific values.

What this test is for

This panel measures roughly three dozen amino acids and related compounds in plasma, including the essential, branched-chain, and metabolically important ones such as phenylalanine, leucine, valine, methionine, glycine, citrulline, and tyrosine. The pattern across these amino acids is the primary tool for detecting inborn errors of metabolism such as phenylketonuria, maple syrup urine disease, tyrosinemia, citrullinemia, homocystinuria, and non-ketotic hyperglycinemia, where a specific enzyme block causes one or more amino acids to accumulate or fall. It is also used to monitor people already on treatment for these disorders and to gauge overall protein and nutritional status. Levels shift with recent meals, fasting state, and protein intake, so results are interpreted against how the sample was collected. Because this is a pattern test rather than a single number, abnormal results point toward a specific metabolic pathway and usually guide the next, more targeted workup.

    Frequently asked questions

    View all FAQs
    How does pricing work?

    Every test shows the member price next to the standard non-member price, so you can see what membership saves you. The member price is our cost, covering the lab and what it takes to run the service. It is never a profit on the test itself. Mito makes its money on the $9 membership, not on marking up your tests. Membership is $9 per month, and any applicable lab order or draw fee is itemized before you pay.

    Where do I get tested?

    Choose an available partner lab at checkout. If your cart contains multiple blood tests, Mito helps consolidate the eligible tests at one lab when possible. At-home kits and scans follow the collection or appointment process shown on their product page.

    Is this eligible for HSA/FSA?

    Yes. Eligible tests can be paid for with an HSA or FSA card at checkout.

    When will I get my results?

    Your results appear in your Mito dashboard after the laboratory completes processing. A clinician then reviews them before your analysis and personalized action plan are finalized. Timing varies by test, and specialty assays and at-home kits may take longer.

    Do I need a physician's order?

    No. Mito provides the laboratory order when one is required, so you do not need to arrange a separate physician visit before purchasing.
