Carnitine, Total and Free

This test is used to evaluate various muscle disorders. L-carnitine is a normal component of human serum. Its concentrations are altered in patients with acute muscular necrosis, kidney disease, systemic carnitine deficiency, and diabetes mellitus.

L-carnitine (t-trimethylamino-(ß)-hydroxybutyric acid) is essential for the transport of free fatty acids into mitochondria and hence to the site of fatty acid oxidation for energy production from fat. Carnitine deficiency has been associated with several cases of myopathy and may play an important role in at least some disorders of lipid metabolism.

A significant deviation from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.
