Additional Information
1. Patient's age is required. 2. Include family history, clinical condition (asymptomatic or acute episode), diet, and drug therapy information. 3. If prolidase deficiency is a concern, indicate on the amino acid order "Pretreat with acid hydrolysis prior to analysis". The acid hydrolysis will break up in vitro proline and hydroxyproline containing dipeptides, which are cleaved in vivo by prolidase. https://www.mayocliniclabs.com/-/media/it-mmfiles/Special-Instructions/C/F/1/iem-request-form
