Enquire About This Test

What does this test assess?

This research panel quantifies six metabolites of the arginine-nitric oxide pathway, providing insight into endothelial function, nitric oxide bioavailability, and methylarginine-mediated cardiovascular risk.

Clinical indications include:

  • Research on endothelial dysfunction and nitric oxide bioavailability
  • Investigation of ADMA as cardiovascular risk marker
  • Studies on arginine metabolism in critical illness
  • Urea cycle disorder research
  • Pulmonary hypertension research

Measured analytes

Analyte coverage

Arginine, citrulline, ornithine, methylarginine, asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), and symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA).

Analytical technique

All six analytes are quantified simultaneously by isotope-dilution LC-MS/MS from plasma or serum.
