What to do with a positive TMAU test result

If anyone receives a positive test result for Primary or Secondary TMAU, it is recommended that the documents noted below be printed and taken to one’s physician along with the test results. Please click on the labels below to display these documents. In addition, one may print from any of the following websites linked to below to also share with the physicians.

In an effort to explain to one’s medical doctor about the TMAU testing process and about TMAU in general, Nigel Manning, Principal Clinical Scientist, Dept. Clinical Chemistry Sheffield Children’s Hospital, UK, has written a letter to the doctors and a brief Introduction to Trimethylaminuria. In addition, of interest is an interview with Dr. Robin Lachmann, PhD, MRCP, Consultant in Metabolic Medicine, the only medical doctor to whom all patients with a positive test result are referred in London.
