Find Answers for Unexplained Symptoms with Our Porphyrins Urine Test
When mysterious symptoms like severe abdominal pain, skin sensitivity to sunlight, or neurological issues disrupt your life, it’s natural to feel anxious and uncertain. Our Porphyrins Total Quantitative 24-Hour Urine Test provides the clarity you deserve. For only ZAR 2,200 (regularly ZAR 3,000), this specialized test can detect porphyria – a metabolic condition that often goes undiagnosed for years, leaving patients suffering without answers.
Understanding Your Porphyrins Test
Porphyrins are natural chemicals in your body that help produce haem, the essential component of haemoglobin in your blood. When this process is disrupted, porphyrins can build up to dangerous levels, causing the painful and debilitating symptoms of porphyria. Our 24-hour urine test measures these levels with exceptional accuracy using advanced column chromatography technology.
Unlike standard tests, this comprehensive analysis requires a full 24-hour urine collection to capture your body’s complete porphyrin production cycle. This thorough approach ensures we don’t miss crucial diagnostic information that could change your treatment path.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you experience any of these symptoms, this test could provide life-changing answers:
- Severe, unexplained abdominal pain that comes and goes
- Skin that blisters or becomes extremely sensitive to sunlight
- Neurological symptoms like muscle weakness, seizures, or confusion
- Dark or reddish-brown urine, especially after sun exposure
- Family history of porphyria or similar metabolic disorders
- Unexplained psychiatric symptoms alongside physical complaints
Many South Africans suffer for years without proper diagnosis. Early detection can prevent permanent nerve damage and other serious complications.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting the right diagnosis means getting the right treatment. With porphyria, early detection can:
- Prevent serious attacks that may require hospitalization
- Guide lifestyle changes to manage symptoms effectively
- Provide peace of mind after months or years of uncertainty
- Enable targeted treatments that address the root cause
- Protect against long-term complications like nerve damage
Don’t let unexplained symptoms control your life. Knowledge is your first step toward effective management and improved quality of life.
