Protect Your Newborn from Galactosemia – Early Detection Saves Lives
As new parents in South Africa, you want nothing more than to give your baby the healthiest start in life. The Galactosemia Newborn Screen Test offers peace of mind by detecting this rare metabolic disorder before it can cause harm. For just ZAR 100, this simple test could prevent serious health complications and ensure your baby thrives.
Understanding Galactosemia Screening
Galactosemia is a rare genetic condition where babies cannot properly process galactose, a sugar found in milk. Without early detection, this can lead to feeding difficulties, liver damage, cataracts, and developmental delays. Our screening test uses advanced fluoroimmunoassay technology to measure enzyme levels, providing accurate results you can trust.
Who Should Take This Test?
Every newborn in South Africa benefits from galactosemia screening. Watch for these early signs:
- Poor feeding or vomiting after milk feeds
- Jaundice (yellow skin or eyes)
- Lethargy or excessive sleepiness
- Failure to gain weight appropriately
- Family history of metabolic disorders
Early screening is especially important if you have a family history of galactosemia or other metabolic conditions.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Baby’s Health
Galactosemia screening provides life-changing benefits:
- Prevent Serious Complications: Early detection allows for immediate dietary changes that prevent liver damage, cataracts, and brain damage
