Abstract:
Pediatricians play a crucial role in the early diagnosis and management of inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs). The diagnosis of IMD is based on the principle of selective screening, often requiring highly specialized testing, including biochemical and molecular analyses. The aim of this comprehensive review was to provide pediatricians with the usefulness of basic laboratory analyses in diagnostic process of IMD. The abnormal results of basic laboratory analyses were thoroughly discussed in the context of clinical manifestations of IMDs. Easy-to-use algorithms were implemented to ensure an appropriate differential diagnosis.
