Understanding Your Kidney Health: SLC26A1 Genetic Testing
When kidney health concerns run in your family, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. You deserve clear answers about your genetic risk for renal dysfunction. Our SLC26A1 Gene Renal Dysfunction Genetic Test provides the clarity and peace of mind you’ve been searching for.
What This Test Reveals About Your Kidney Health
The SLC26A1 gene plays a crucial role in kidney function, and deficiencies can lead to progressive renal dysfunction. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA to identify mutations in the SLC26A1 gene that may predispose you to kidney complications.
This isn’t just another medical test – it’s a proactive step toward understanding your body’s unique genetic blueprint and taking control of your kidney health journey.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained kidney function abnormalities
- Family history of renal dysfunction or kidney disease
- Recurrent kidney stones or urinary issues
- Elevated creatinine levels without clear cause
- Planning for family and concerned about genetic inheritance
Many South Africans discover their genetic predisposition through this test, enabling early intervention and better health management.

- Take proactive steps to protect your kidney function
