Elevation indicates riboflavin deficiency (vitamin B2), a common factor in moderate urinary increases of glutaric acid.
Other possible factors include:
- fatty acid oxidation defects
- metabolic effects of valproic acid (Depakene),
- or celiac disease.
The probability of a genetic disease is higher with very high values.
The use of dietary supplements containing riboflavin and coenzyme Q10 may improve clinical symptoms.
This compound may be elevated in about 10% of children with autism.

Elevation indicates riboflavin (vitamin B2) deficiency. Other possible factors include fatty acid oxidation defects, and metabolic effects of valproic acid (Depakene), or celiac disease. The probability of a genetic disease is higher with very high values. The use of dietary supplements containing riboflavin and coenzyme Q10 may improve clinical symptoms. This compound may be elevated in about 10% of children with autism.
Possible causes:
- Low B2
- Inborn error of metabolism
- Associated with CETP genetic polymorphism
Additional investigations:
- Red blood cell B2
- Genetic Diagnostic Testing
Treatment considerations:
- Supplement B2
- Consider mitochondrial support nutrients (e.g. CoQ10)
