Find Clarity About Unexplained Glucose in Your Urine
When routine tests show glucose in your urine but your blood sugar levels appear normal, it can be confusing and worrying. You might be wondering: “Is this diabetes? Could it be something else? What does this mean for my health long-term?” Our SLC5A2 Renal Glucosuria DNA Test provides the definitive answers you need to understand this genetic condition and make informed decisions about your health.
Understanding the SLC5A2 Renal Glucosuria Test
Renal glucosuria is a rare inherited condition where your kidneys allow glucose to pass into your urine, even when your blood sugar levels are normal. This happens due to mutations in the SLC5A2 gene, which is responsible for glucose reabsorption in the kidneys. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines this specific gene to identify any abnormalities that could be causing your symptoms.
Unlike standard diabetes tests that focus on blood sugar, this genetic test looks directly at the root cause of renal glucosuria, providing clarity that routine medical examinations cannot offer.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Persistent glucose in urine tests despite normal blood glucose levels
- Family history of renal glucosuria or unexplained urinary glucose
- Concerns about passing genetic conditions to your children
- Unexplained frequent urination or increased thirst
- Previous misdiagnosis or uncertainty about diabetes status
Many South Africans live with undiagnosed renal glucosuria, often mistaking it for diabetes or other conditions. Getting the right diagnosis can prevent unnecessary treatments and provide peace of mind.
Why This Test Matters for Your Health
Getting an accurate diagnosis through genetic testing offers significant benefits:
- Peace of Mind: Know exactly what’s causing your symptoms instead of living with uncertainty
- Family Planning Insights: Understand the inheritance pattern and risks for your children
- Avoid Unnecessary Treatment: Prevent diabetes medications you don’t need
- Long-term Health Management: Develop appropriate monitoring strategies for your specific condition
- Early Intervention: Identify the condition before potential complications develop
