Metabolic: disorders can give elevated acylcarnitine levels. The definitive test to explore this screening result will be urine organic acids on infant and mother, plasma acylcarnitine analysis, and serum biotinidase assay. Other tests may be needed and a geneticist will be consulted. This level will require prompt testing so that if it is confirmed to be an error in metabilism your baby can be treated now.
