Protecting Your Child’s Future Starts with Early Detection
As a parent, nothing matters more than your child’s health and development. The Galactosemia Classical (Transferase) Quantitative Blood Test offers peace of mind by detecting a rare but serious metabolic condition that, if left undiagnosed, can lead to lifelong health challenges. Our compassionate testing approach ensures you receive the clarity and guidance needed to make informed decisions about your child’s wellbeing.
What This Life-Changing Test Detects
Galactosemia is a genetic disorder where the body cannot properly process galactose, a sugar found in milk and dairy products. Our quantitative blood test specifically measures the activity of the GALT enzyme (galactose-1-phosphate uridylyltransferase), which is crucial for breaking down galactose. When this enzyme doesn’t function properly, toxic substances build up in the body, potentially causing serious damage to vital organs.
Who Should Consider This Essential Screening?
This test is particularly important for:
- Newborns showing feeding difficulties, vomiting, or jaundice
- Infants with failure to thrive or developmental delays
- Children with cataracts or liver enlargement
- Families with a history of galactosemia or unexplained infant deaths
- Babies experiencing seizures or lethargy after milk consumption
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Child’s Health
Timely diagnosis through our Galactosemia test can prevent:
- Severe liver damage and cirrhosis
- Developmental and intellectual disabilities
- Vision problems including cataracts
- Growth retardation and feeding difficulties
- Life-threatening complications in infancy
With early detection and proper dietary management, children with galactosemia can lead healthy, normal lives. Our test provides the critical information needed to start appropriate treatment immediately.
