Find Answers for Kidney Health Concerns with AGXT Gene Testing
Are you or your loved ones experiencing recurrent kidney stones, unexplained kidney damage, or worrying about inherited kidney conditions? The AGXT Gene Hyperoxaluria Type 1 test provides the clarity and peace of mind you deserve. At just ZAR 6,700, this advanced genetic test can identify the root cause of primary hyperoxaluria type 1 – a condition that affects how your body processes oxalate and can lead to serious kidney complications if left untreated.
Understanding Your AGXT Gene Hyperoxaluria Test
Primary hyperoxaluria type 1 is an inherited condition where your body produces too much oxalate, leading to kidney stones and potential kidney damage. Our test uses Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to examine the AGXT gene for mutations that cause this condition. This isn’t just a simple blood test – it’s a comprehensive genetic analysis that includes professional genetic counselling to map your family history and understand your unique risk factors.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Recurrent kidney stones, especially in childhood or young adulthood
- Unexplained kidney failure or damage
- Family history of kidney stones or kidney disease
- Oxalate crystals in urine tests
- Diagnosis of hyperoxaluria without genetic confirmation
Many South Africans live with undiagnosed genetic conditions that affect kidney health. Early detection through genetic testing can prevent years of discomfort and serious health complications.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting tested for AGXT gene mutations provides life-changing benefits:
- Prevent Kidney Damage: Early diagnosis allows for treatments that can prevent progressive kidney damage
- Guide Treatment Decisions: Results help doctors choose the most effective medications and dietary changes
- Family Planning Insights: Understand inheritance patterns for future family planning
- Peace of Mind: End the uncertainty about recurring health issues
- Cost Savings: Early intervention can prevent expensive kidney treatments later
