Find Answers for Unexplained Symptoms with Our PBG Urine Test
When you’re dealing with mysterious symptoms that don’t seem to fit any common diagnosis, the frustration and uncertainty can be overwhelming. Abdominal pain that comes and goes, skin that reacts strangely to sunlight, or neurological symptoms that puzzle even your doctors – these could be signs of porphyria, a metabolic disorder that affects how your body produces heme. Our Porphobilinogen (PBG) Quantitative 24 Hour Urine Test is specifically designed to detect this challenging condition, giving you the clarity you deserve.
Understanding Your PBG Urine Test
This test measures porphobilinogen (PBG) levels in your urine collected over 24 hours. PBG is a crucial building block in heme production – the substance that gives blood its red colour and carries oxygen throughout your body. When this process goes wrong, PBG can build up to dangerous levels, causing the painful and confusing symptoms of porphyria. Our advanced column chromatography method ensures the highest accuracy, giving you results you can trust completely.
Who Should Consider This Test?
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, this test could provide vital answers:
- Severe abdominal pain without clear cause
- Skin that blisters or becomes overly sensitive to sunlight
- Neurological symptoms like muscle weakness or seizures
- Mental health changes including anxiety or confusion
- Dark or reddish-brown urine
- Family history of porphyria or unexplained symptoms
Many South Africans suffer for years without proper diagnosis. Don’t let unexplained symptoms control your life any longer.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting an accurate porphyria diagnosis can be life-changing. Early detection means:
- Proper treatment to manage symptoms effectively
- Prevention of serious complications like nerve damage
- Peace of mind from finally understanding your condition
- Better quality of life through targeted management strategies
- Family awareness since porphyria can be inherited
Every day without diagnosis means continued suffering and potential health risks.
