The sialic acid test is a laboratory test that measures the levels of sialic acid in the blood, urine, or other bodily fluids. Sialic acid is a carbohydrate molecule that is attached to the surface of certain proteins and lipids in the body. It plays important roles in various biological processes and is involved in cell recognition, immune response, and modulation of cellular interactions.
Sialic acid storage diseases, such as Sialic Acid Storage Disease (SASD), Sialuria, or Salla disease, involve impaired metabolism of sialic acid leading to its accumulation in various tissues. The sialic acid test can be used to confirm the diagnosis of these genetic disorders.
Elevated levels of sialic acid have been observed in certain types of cancers, including breast, lung, pancreatic, and colorectal cancers. The sialic acid test may be used as a marker to aid in the diagnosis, prognosis, or monitoring of these cancers.
The Sialic acid Test is a simple blood test that can be performed in a laboratory. Before the test, the patient may be asked to avoid certain medications that may affect the results. During the test, our healthcare professional will use a needle to draw blood from a vein in the patient's arm. The blood sample will then be sent to our laboratory for analysis.
The interpretation of sialic acid test results should always take into account the patient's clinical context, including their symptoms, medical history, and other diagnostic tests. Sialic acid levels alone may not be diagnostic of a specific condition but can provide supporting evidence when evaluated alongside other clinical information.
