I don't know much about the specialized testing, but it appears to me that your urine tests are screening for mitochondrial
issues. (Mito issues are connected to muscle function).

There is a genetic disorder called ketoglutaric dehydrogenase deficiency...but that is usually found in children.

Your out of range #s are not high. There is some error involved with urine samples, so don't worry yet. They may redo it or order other tests or not. That is up to the doctor.

Sorry I can't help you more.

I'm not worried and you were plenty of help.

I looked at that site and then into Bartter's syndrome and it's something that may need more looking into, some of the stuff explains things from way back when I was a kid. It also has some other things that go with it that have been mentioned as possible causes of my weak spells.

I will see what the dr says.

Thanks again
