Guanidinoacetate
Explanation: Guanidinoacetate is a molecule produced in the kidney that the body uses to make creatine, a important substance for providing energy to muscles and brain. By being a key part of creatine synthesis, guanidinoacetate indirectly supports the energy supply for various cells, especially in muscles and the brain.
Test purpose:
- Evaluate neurological symptoms; monitor creatine metabolism: Abnormal levels may point to issues in how the body produces and processes creatine.
- Guide treatment: If someone is detected with a creatine deficiency, testing helps track their response to creatine supplementation.
- This test is especially important for identifying creatine synthesis issues early, as these conditions can affect brain and muscle health but are treatable with dietary supplements.
