CHYLOMICRON QUALITATIVE (O.S.)

Overview

This test is a qualitative analysis performed on a urine sample to detect the presence of chylomicrons, which are lipoproteins primarily involved in fat transport. Detection of chylomicrons in urine may indicate a disruption in normal lipid metabolism or the presence of conditions like nephrotic syndrome, where the filtration barrier is compromised. The test typically involves a simple spot urine collection and is interpreted qualitatively to assess lipid disorders and monitor related health conditions.
