Find Answers for Unexplained Neurological Symptoms
When your child experiences developmental delays, seizures, or unexplained neurological issues, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our HHH Syndrome test provides the clarity you need to understand these complex symptoms and take proactive steps toward better health outcomes.
Understanding HHH Syndrome Testing
HHH Syndrome (Hyperornithinemia-Hyperammonemia-Homocitrullinuria) is a rare inherited metabolic disorder that affects how your body processes proteins. This comprehensive test detects abnormal levels of specific amino acids and metabolites that indicate this condition, using advanced LC-MS/MS and GC-MS technology for maximum accuracy.
Our test specifically measures ornithine, ammonia, and homocitrulline levels in urine samples, providing crucial information about your metabolic health that can guide appropriate treatment and management strategies.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your child experience:
- Unexplained developmental delays or regression
- Recurrent seizures or neurological symptoms
- Episodes of confusion, lethargy, or coma
- Protein intolerance or feeding difficulties in infants
- Family history of metabolic disorders
- Unexplained learning difficulties or behavioural changes
Many South African families have found answers through our testing, gaining the clarity needed to pursue appropriate treatments and support.
