The ammonia test measures the concentration of this compound in plasma, which is crucial for evaluating liver function and detecting disorders of ammonia metabolism. We use automated spectrophotometry to ensure accurate and reliable results. This analysis is essential for diagnosing and monitoring conditions such as hepatic encephalopathy and urea cycle disorders.
No special preparation is required before the test. The sample must be collected without hemolysis, sent immediately, and frozen to ensure ammonia stability.
