Galactose Blood Test

Missouri rates for HCPCS 82760

Measures galactose, a simple sugar that comes from the milk sugar lactose, in the blood. A raised level suggests the body cannot convert it properly, which matters most in newborns because the build-up can harm the liver, eyes, and brain if milk feeding continues. It is used to follow up an abnormal newborn screening result or to monitor someone on a restricted diet.
