Find Answers for Unexplained Kidney and Eye Conditions
When you’re experiencing persistent kidney problems or vision changes without clear cause, the uncertainty can be overwhelming. Our SLC4A4 genetic test provides the clarity you deserve, helping you understand the genetic factors behind renal tubular acidosis and associated ocular abnormalities. For South African families seeking answers, this test represents hope and direction in your healthcare journey.
Understanding Your SLC4A4 Genetic Test
The SLC4A4 gene plays a crucial role in maintaining the body’s acid-base balance and eye health. When mutations occur in this gene, it can lead to proximal renal tubular acidosis – a condition where the kidneys struggle to remove acid from the blood, combined with various eye abnormalities. Our advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology examines your DNA with 99.9% accuracy to identify these specific genetic variations.
This isn’t just a test; it’s a comprehensive health investigation that examines the very building blocks of your genetic makeup to provide answers that routine medical tests might miss.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you or your family members experience:
- Unexplained metabolic acidosis or electrolyte imbalances
- Recurrent kidney stones or kidney dysfunction
- Vision problems including glaucoma, cataracts, or band keratopathy
- Growth delays in children
- Family history of kidney or eye disorders
- Unexplained weakness, fatigue, or bone pain
Many South African patients have found life-changing answers through genetic testing, allowing for targeted treatments and better health management.
Why This Test Matters for Your Health
Early detection through genetic testing can transform your healthcare experience:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Move beyond symptom management to understanding the root cause
- Personalised Treatment: Enable your healthcare provider to create targeted treatment plans
- Family Planning: Understand inheritance patterns for future family decisions
- Peace of Mind: Reduce the anxiety of uncertainty with definitive answers
