What is this test?
The aminobenzoate test measures the concentration of aminobenzoate compounds in your blood serum or plasma. Aminobenzoates are chemical compounds that include certain local anesthetics (like benzocaine), some sunscreen ingredients, and compounds used in certain medical treatments. This test helps healthcare providers evaluate how well your liver is processing these compounds and assess overall liver function.
How is the test performed?
A healthcare professional will draw a small blood sample from a vein in your arm. The sample is then sent to a laboratory where it is analyzed to measure the amount of aminobenzoate present. The test is typically part of a broader metabolic panel or liver function assessment.
Why might I need this test?
Your doctor may order this test if you have symptoms of liver problems, such as jaundice, fatigue, or abdominal pain. It may also be used to monitor exposure to certain chemicals or medications, or to evaluate how well your liver is functioning. The test helps provide important information about your liver's ability to metabolize and process various compounds.
