Understanding Your Blood Health: The AML FISH Panel
When facing concerns about leukaemia or unexplained blood abnormalities, the uncertainty can feel overwhelming. We understand that waiting for answers about your health creates anxiety, which is why our AML FISH Panel provides the clarity you need. This advanced genetic test examines specific chromosomal changes that are crucial for accurate leukaemia diagnosis and treatment planning.
What Does the AML FISH Panel Detect?
The AML FISH Panel uses Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization (FISH) technology to identify specific genetic abnormalities in your bone marrow or blood cells. This isn’t just another blood test – it’s a targeted investigation that looks for four critical genetic markers:
- AML/ETO translocation: Associated with a specific subtype of acute myeloid leukaemia
- inv(16) inversion: A chromosomal rearrangement that affects treatment response
- PML/RARA fusion: The genetic signature of acute promyelocytic leukaemia
- MLL rearrangements: Abnormalities that can influence prognosis and therapy choices
These aren’t just medical terms – they’re the roadmap your doctor needs to create the most effective treatment plan for your specific situation.
Who Should Consider This 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
- Frequent infections or slow healing
- Unexplained bruising or bleeding
- Bone pain or tenderness
- Abnormal blood counts on recent tests
- Family history of blood cancers
- Previous abnormal bone marrow findings
Many South Africans put off testing due to cost concerns, but at ZAR 4,950, getting this critical information is more accessible than ever.
