Find Clarity About Your Unexplained Symptoms with PNH Screening
Are you experiencing persistent fatigue, unexplained abdominal pain, or noticing dark-coloured urine? These could be signs of Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH), a rare blood disorder that affects many South Africans without their knowledge. At Oracle Genomics, we understand the anxiety that comes with unexplained symptoms, and we’re here to provide the answers you need through our accurate PNH screening test.
Understanding the PNH Screening Test
The Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria Screening Test is a specialised blood test that detects the presence of PNH cells in your bloodstream. Using the advanced Gel Technique, our laboratory experts can identify these abnormal cells with exceptional precision. PNH occurs when your bone marrow produces defective red blood cells that are more susceptible to destruction, leading to various symptoms that can significantly impact your daily life.
This isn’t just another blood test – it’s a targeted investigation that looks specifically for the markers of PNH, giving you and your healthcare provider clear, actionable information about your condition.
Who Should Consider PNH Screening?
This test is particularly important if you’re experiencing:
- Unexplained fatigue that doesn’t improve with rest
- Dark or cola-coloured urine, especially in the morning
- Recurrent abdominal pain or discomfort
- Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath
- Frequent headaches or swallowing difficulties
- History of blood clots without clear cause
- Low blood counts detected in previous tests
Many South Africans live with these symptoms for years without understanding the underlying cause. Taking this test can be the first step toward getting the proper care and management you deserve.
Why Early PNH Detection Matters for Your Health
Early detection of PNH through screening offers significant benefits:
- Peace of Mind: Either rule out PNH or get an early diagnosis to begin appropriate management
- Prevent Complications: Early detection can help prevent serious complications like blood clots, kidney damage, or pulmonary hypertension
- Targeted Treatment: Accurate diagnosis leads to specific treatments that can improve your quality of life
- Better Management: Understanding your condition allows for proactive health management and monitoring
- Reduced Anxiety: Knowing what you’re dealing with is often less stressful than living with uncertainty
Understanding Your PNH Test Results
We know waiting for test results can be anxiety-provoking, which is why we offer same-day results when samples are submitted by 9 am. Your results will clearly indicate whether PNH cells are detected and provide the percentage of affected cells if present.
Negative Result: No PNH cells detected – this provides reassurance and may help your doctor explore other causes for your symptoms.
Positive Result: PNH cells are present – this isn’t cause for panic, but rather an opportunity to work with your hematologist on an appropriate management plan. Many people with PNH live full, active lives with proper care.
Our medical team is available to help you understand your results and discuss next steps with your healthcare provider.
