94381-1
Laboratory2,3-dinor 11 beta-Prostaglandin F2 alpha/Creatinine [Mass Ratio] in 24 hour Urine
Definition
The ratio of 2,3-dinor 11 beta-Prostaglandin F2 alpha (2,3-BPG) to creatinine in 24 hour urine specimens. Testing is performed to screen for mast cell activation disorders, including systemic mastocytosis. 2,3-BPG values above 3,263 pg/mg creatinine are consistent with, but not necessarily diagnostic of, systemic mastocytosis.
