Find Clarity in Your AML Journey with Advanced PCR Testing
When facing concerns about acute myeloid leukaemia, uncertainty can feel overwhelming. Our AML Categorisation PCR Test provides the precise genetic information you and your oncologist need to make informed treatment decisions. At ZAR 3,500, this advanced molecular analysis brings world-class leukaemia diagnostics within reach for South African patients.
Understanding Your AML Categorisation PCR Test
This specialised test uses Real Time PCR technology to detect specific genetic rearrangements that define different subtypes of acute myeloid leukaemia. By identifying these molecular markers, we help your healthcare team understand exactly which type of AML you’re dealing with – information that’s crucial for choosing the most effective treatment approach.
The test specifically looks for three key genetic rearrangements: PML-RARA (associated with acute promyelocytic leukaemia), AML-ETO, and Inv 16 rearrangements. Each of these has different treatment implications and prognosis, making accurate categorisation essential for your care journey.
Who Should Consider This Essential Test?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing symptoms that might indicate leukaemia, or if you’ve recently been diagnosed with AML and need precise categorisation. Common indicators include:
- Unexplained fatigue or weakness that doesn’t improve with rest
- Frequent infections or prolonged recovery from illnesses
- Unexplained bruising or bleeding tendencies
- Persistent fever without clear cause
- Bone pain or tenderness
- Unexplained weight loss
- Pale skin or shortness of breath
If you’re currently undergoing AML treatment, this test also helps monitor treatment response and detect early signs of relapse.
Why Accurate AML Categorisation Matters for Your Health
Getting the right diagnosis from the start can significantly impact your treatment outcomes and quality of life. Early and precise categorisation allows for:
- Targeted Treatment Selection: Different AML subtypes respond better to specific therapies
- Improved Prognosis Assessment: Understanding your specific genetic profile helps predict treatment response
- Reduced Treatment Side Effects: Avoiding unnecessary or ineffective treatments
- Peace of Mind: Knowing exactly what you’re dealing with reduces uncertainty and anxiety
- Better Long-term Planning: Accurate information supports informed decisions about your care journey
Understanding Your Test Results with Confidence
We know waiting for results can be stressful. That’s why we provide clear, comprehensive reports that your oncologist can easily interpret. Your results will clearly indicate whether specific genetic rearrangements were detected, helping to categorise your AML subtype.
Our medical team is available to help you understand what your results mean for your treatment options. Remember – knowledge is power when facing leukaemia, and this test provides the precise information needed to fight back effectively.
