Understanding Fabry Disease: Your Path to Early Detection
Living with unexplained symptoms can be worrying, especially when they affect your daily life and overall wellbeing. Fabry Disease is a rare genetic disorder that often goes undiagnosed for years, causing progressive damage to vital organs. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the anxiety that comes with seeking answers about your health, which is why we’ve made comprehensive Fabry Disease testing accessible and affordable for South African families.
What Does This Test Detect?
The Fabry Disease Quantitative Blood Test measures the activity level of alpha-galactosidase A enzyme in your blood. This crucial enzyme helps break down specific fats in your body. When enzyme levels are low, it indicates Fabry Disease – a condition where fatty substances accumulate in cells, potentially affecting your heart, kidneys, brain, and nervous system over time.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, this test could provide the answers you need:
- Burning pain in hands and feet (acroparesthesia)
- Reduced ability to sweat (hypohidrosis)
- Gastrointestinal issues including abdominal pain and diarrhoea
- Skin rash (angiokeratomas) typically around the belly button, thighs, or buttocks
- Cloudy vision or cornea verticillata
- Family history of Fabry Disease or unexplained kidney or heart problems
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Early diagnosis of Fabry Disease can significantly improve your quality of life and prevent serious complications. With proper management and treatment, you can:
- Prevent progressive kidney damage and potential kidney failure
- Reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes
- Manage pain symptoms more effectively
- Make informed family planning decisions
- Access appropriate treatments that can slow disease progression
Understanding Your Results with Confidence
We know waiting for test results can be stressful. That’s why we provide clear, comprehensive reports with expert interpretation. Your results will show your alpha-galactosidase A enzyme levels, and our medical team will explain what they mean for your health. Whether your results are normal or indicate Fabry Disease, we’ll guide you through the next steps with compassion and professional support.
