Understanding Your Risk for Inherited Kidney Conditions
When kidney health runs in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. You may worry about passing conditions to your children or developing symptoms yourself. Our NPHS1 Gene Nephrosis Finnish Type NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity and peace of mind you deserve. This specialised test examines the NPHS1 gene, which plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy kidney function and filtering waste from your body.
What This Test Detects
The NPHS1 gene test identifies specific genetic mutations associated with congenital nephrotic syndrome of the Finnish type. This inherited condition affects the kidneys’ ability to filter blood properly, leading to protein loss in urine and potential kidney complications. By understanding your genetic makeup, you can take proactive steps to protect your kidney health and make informed decisions about your family’s future.
Who Should Consider This Test
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Family history of kidney disease or nephrosis
- Unexplained protein in urine (proteinuria)
- Swelling in legs, ankles, or around eyes
- Planning pregnancy with family history of kidney conditions
- Children with developmental kidney issues
- Finnish ancestry with kidney health concerns
