Protect Your Baby’s Future with Early Galactosemia Detection
As a parent, nothing matters more than your baby’s health and wellbeing. The Galactosemia Panel 1 Test provides the peace of mind every new parent deserves by screening for this rare but serious metabolic disorder that affects how the body processes galactose – a sugar found in milk. Early detection through our comprehensive screening can prevent devastating health consequences and ensure your baby gets the right nutritional care from day one.
What Does This Test Detect?
Our Galactosemia Panel 1 is a specialised screening that identifies deficiencies in enzymes needed to process galactose. The test specifically examines:
- Galactosemia Screening for initial detection
- Classical Galactosemia (Transferase deficiency) confirmation
Using advanced Spot Test and Enzyme assay methodologies, we provide highly accurate results that help guide your baby’s nutritional management and medical care.
Who Should Take This Essential Test?
This screening is particularly important for:
- Newborns showing feeding difficulties or vomiting after milk intake
- Babies with unexplained jaundice or liver problems
- Infants with family history of metabolic disorders
- Newborns experiencing failure to thrive or developmental delays
- Babies with cataracts or other eye abnormalities
