Summary
This is a Proprietary Laboratory Analyses (PLA) code, meaning that the code applies to only one unique lab test made by a specific manufacturer or performed by a specific lab. Report 0655U only for Complex V Hydrolysis Enzyme Assay from Children's Hospital Colorado Laboratory. This test is used for primary mitochondrial disease, which is a disorder that affects how cells produce energy. It analyzes complex V, which is a mitochondrial enzyme complex, using a spectrophotometric kinetic assay on cultured skin fibroblasts. The assay evaluates complex V activity by measuring ATP hydrolysis, which means the breakdown of ATP, and the result is reported as a diagnostic quantitative result, meaning it provides a measured value.
