Pdf Summary
This checklist provides guidelines for analyzing urine organic acids. The checklist includes the following points to be considered and recorded during patient visits:<br /><br />1. Quantification of creatinine for normalization.<br />2. Extraction of an appropriate urine amount based on creatinine concentration.<br />3. Performance and verification of calibration.<br />4. Dilution if necessary.<br />5. Documentation of the individual who completed the analysis.<br />6. Review of the intensity of internal standard(s) peak for extraction and derivatization efficiency.<br />7. Correct identification of peaks, review of areas of critical overlap, and checking for the presence of small amounts of clinically significant compounds.<br />8. Inclusion of relevant compounds in the report with specific quantities and appropriate reference ranges, or a semi-quantitative description if applicable.<br />9. Inclusion of the clinical significance of compounds excreted in pathological amounts with a differential diagnosis if applicable.<br />10. Correlation of the report with available clinical information when applicable.<br />11. Recommendations for follow-up studies if applicable.<br />12. Documentation of communication with the provider regarding results of urgent critical clinical significance.<br /><br />Following this checklist can help ensure that all necessary steps are carried out during the analysis of urine organic acids, leading to accurate and comprehensive reports for patient care.
