Find Clarity in Your Health Journey with Amyloid Detection
When you’re experiencing unexplained symptoms or have concerns about potential amyloid-related conditions, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. The Histopathology Special Stain Amyloid (Congo Red) Test provides the definitive answers you need to move forward with confidence. At Oracle Genomics, we understand that waiting for diagnosis can be stressful, which is why we’ve made this advanced testing accessible and affordable for all South Africans at just ZAR 250.
Understanding Your Amyloid Congo Red Test
This specialised histopathology test uses Congo Red staining to detect amyloid proteins – abnormal deposits that can accumulate in your tissues and organs. Think of it as a highly precise detective that identifies these problematic proteins under microscopic examination. When amyloid builds up in organs like your heart, kidneys, liver, or nervous system, it can interfere with their normal function. Our expert pathologists examine your tissue sample with this special stain, which causes amyloid deposits to appear apple-green under polarised light, providing a clear, definitive diagnosis.
Who Should Consider This Important Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these concerning symptoms, this test could provide the answers you need:
- Unexplained fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
- Swelling in your ankles, legs, or abdomen
- Shortness of breath or heart palpitations
- Numbness, tingling, or pain in your hands and feet
- Unexpected weight loss without trying
- Skin changes like easy bruising or purplish patches around your eyes
- Protein in your urine or kidney function concerns
- Family history of amyloidosis or related conditions
Many South Africans dismiss these symptoms as normal aging or stress, but they could indicate underlying amyloid deposition that requires proper diagnosis and management.
