Understanding Your Child’s Health: The Arginase Test
When your child shows unexplained developmental delays or neurological symptoms, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. As parents, you deserve clear answers and a path forward. Our Arginase Test provides the crucial information needed to understand potential metabolic disorders affecting your child’s growth and development.
What Does the Arginase Test Detect?
The Arginase Test measures the activity of the arginase enzyme in your child’s blood. This enzyme plays a vital role in breaking down proteins and removing ammonia from the body. When arginase levels are low, it can indicate arginase deficiency – a rare metabolic condition that affects the urea cycle and can lead to serious neurological complications if left untreated.
Our test uses advanced spectrophotometry technology to provide accurate, reliable measurements that paediatric specialists trust for diagnosis and treatment planning.
Is This Test Right for Your Child?
Consider the Arginase Test if your child shows any of these concerning symptoms:
- Unexplained developmental delays or regression
- Progressive spasticity or muscle stiffness
- Growth delays or failure to thrive
- Episodes of vomiting, lethargy, or irritability
- Seizures or abnormal movements
- Family history of metabolic disorders
Early testing can provide the answers needed to guide appropriate treatment and support your child’s healthy development.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Child’s Future
Getting tested brings multiple benefits that can significantly impact your child’s quality of life:
- Peace of Mind: Either rule out concerns or get a clear diagnosis to move forward
- Early Intervention: Begin appropriate treatment before irreversible damage occurs
