Find Answers for Unexplained Kidney Problems with APRT Deficiency Genetic Testing
If you’ve been struggling with recurrent kidney stones or unexplained kidney damage, you’re not alone. Many South Africans face these challenges without understanding the underlying cause. Our APRT deficiency genetic test provides the clarity you need to protect your kidney health and prevent future complications.
Understanding APRT Deficiency Genetic Testing
APRT deficiency is a rare genetic condition where your body cannot properly process adenine, leading to the formation of 2,8-dihydroxyadenine crystals in your kidneys. These crystals can cause painful kidney stones and progressive kidney damage over time. Our advanced NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) technology examines your APRT gene to identify any mutations that might be causing these symptoms.
This isn’t just another test – it’s a comprehensive genetic analysis that provides definitive answers about your kidney health. Using state-of-the-art NGS technology, we examine every aspect of your APRT gene with precision and accuracy that traditional methods can’t match.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Recurrent kidney stones, especially in childhood or young adulthood
- Unexplained kidney damage or reduced kidney function
- Family history of kidney stones or kidney disease
- Kidney stones that don’t respond to conventional treatments
- Blood in urine without clear cause
- Multiple kidney stone episodes despite dietary changes
Many patients spend years going from doctor to doctor without getting answers. Our genetic test can provide the missing piece to your health puzzle.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting tested for APRT deficiency isn’t just about diagnosis – it’s about prevention and peace of mind. Early detection allows you to:
- Prevent permanent kidney damage through early intervention
- Avoid painful kidney stone episodes with proper management
- Receive targeted treatment that addresses the root cause
- Make informed family planning decisions with genetic counselling
- Save on future medical costs by preventing complications
Knowing your genetic status empowers you to take control of your kidney health before serious damage occurs.
Understanding Your Test Results
We understand that waiting for genetic test results can be anxiety-provoking. That’s why we provide clear, comprehensive reports with expert interpretation. Your results will clearly indicate:
- Whether genetic mutations associated with APRT deficiency are present
- The specific type of mutation detected (if any)
- What your results mean for your kidney health
- Recommended next steps and management options
