Aminoácidos plasmáticos - Risks

Nombres alternativos

Examen de sangre para aminoácidos

Riesgos:

Los riesgos asociados con la extracción de sangre son leves:

  • Sangrado excesivo
  • Desmayo o sensación de mareo
  • Hematoma (acumulación de sangre debajo de la piel)
  • Infección (un riesgo leve siempre que se presenta ruptura de la piel)

Consideraciones:

Las pruebas de detección para el aumento en los niveles de aminoácidos pueden llevar al diagnóstico precoz de errores innatos del metabolismo. El tratamiento precoz de tales afecciones puede prevenir complicaciones como el retardo mental severo.
