Find Peace of Mind with Chromogranin A Testing
When you’re experiencing unexplained symptoms that don’t seem to fit typical patterns, it’s natural to feel concerned and uncertain. The Chromogranin A (CGA) Test provides the clarity you deserve, offering reliable detection of neuroendocrine tumours that can affect your digestive system, lungs, and other organs. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the anxiety that comes with health uncertainties, which is why we’ve made this advanced testing accessible and affordable for all South Africans.
Understanding Your Chromogranin A Test
Chromogranin A is a protein produced by neuroendocrine cells throughout your body. When these cells develop into tumours, they often release elevated levels of CGA into your bloodstream. Our test measures these levels using advanced TRACE methodology, providing your healthcare provider with crucial information about potential neuroendocrine activity. Think of it as an early warning system that helps catch complex conditions before they progress.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these persistent symptoms, the Chromogranin A Test could provide important insights:
- Unexplained flushing or redness of the skin
- Chronic diarrhoea that doesn’t respond to typical treatments
- Wheezing or breathing difficulties without asthma diagnosis
- Rapid heart rate or palpitations
- Abdominal pain or discomfort
- Unexplained weight changes
- Family history of neuroendocrine tumours
These symptoms can be subtle and easily dismissed, but early detection makes all the difference in treatment outcomes.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Neuroendocrine tumours are often called “the great mimickers” because their symptoms resemble many common conditions. By identifying elevated CGA levels early, you and your doctor can:
- Begin appropriate treatment sooner, improving outcomes
- Monitor treatment effectiveness if you’ve already been diagnosed
- Reduce anxiety by either confirming or ruling out concerns
- Prevent potential complications through timely intervention
- Create a personalised health management plan
Understanding Your Test Results
We know waiting for results can be stressful, which is why we offer same-day reporting when samples are submitted by 11 am on Tuesdays or Fridays. Your results will clearly indicate whether your CGA levels fall within normal ranges or require further investigation. Our medical team provides comprehensive explanations, and we encourage you to discuss results with your healthcare provider to understand what they mean for your specific situation.
Important Preparation Note: For the most accurate results, proton pump inhibitor medications should be discontinued for at least 2 weeks before sample collection, as these can affect CGA levels.
