Alabama rates for HCPCS 82128

A laboratory screen that checks a blood or urine sample for several amino acids at once, the building blocks the body uses to make protein. It reports whether any of them are present in unusual amounts rather than giving an exact measured value for one. Abnormal patterns can point to an inherited problem with the way the body processes protein.
