Galactose Level Testing for Galactosemia

The lab analyst measures the level of galactose, a simple sugar, on serum, plasma, or urine. This sugar is normally broken down to glucose in the body and metabolized or excreted. Without the proper level of the enzyme galactase, the galactose does not reduce to glucose, but builds up to cause galactosemia. Choose a location to see hospital-reported price summaries.
