Oligosaccharide Screen, Random, Urine
Testing Algorithm 
Delineates situations when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.
Oligosaccharide analysis may be considered in the workup of unexplained refractory epilepsy. For more information see Epilepsy: Unexplained Refractory and/or Familial Testing Algorithm in Special Instructions.
Specimen Type Describes the specimen type validated for testing
Advisory Information
This is the recommended test when clinical features are suggestive of, or when molecular testing results suggest, an oligosaccharidosis disorder identified by this test.
LSDS / Lysosomal Storage Disorders Screen, Random, Urine is the recommended screening test for the initial workup of a suspected lysosomal storage disorder particularly when clinical features are non-specific.
