Find Answers for Unexplained Kidney Stones and Joint Pain
If you’ve been struggling with recurrent kidney stones, joint discomfort, or unexplained urinary symptoms, you’re not alone. Many South Africans face these challenges without understanding the underlying cause. Our XDH Gene Xanthinuria Type 1 NGS Genetic DNA Test provides the clarity you need to take control of your health journey. With advanced genetic testing available nationwide, you can finally get answers about this rare metabolic condition that affects how your body processes purines.
Understanding Xanthinuria Type 1 Genetic Testing
Xanthinuria Type 1 is a rare inherited metabolic disorder where your body cannot properly break down certain substances called purines, leading to the accumulation of xanthine in your blood and urine. This condition is caused by mutations in the XDH gene, which provides instructions for making an enzyme called xanthine dehydrogenase. Our NGS (Next-Generation Sequencing) genetic test examines your XDH gene with 99.9% accuracy to identify any mutations that could be causing your symptoms. This isn’t just another test – it’s a comprehensive analysis that looks at your genetic blueprint to provide definitive answers about your metabolic health.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience any of these symptoms or situations:
- Recurrent kidney stones despite dietary changes
- Unexplained joint pain or arthritis-like symptoms
- Family history of kidney stones or metabolic disorders
- Blood in urine without infection
- Failed previous treatments for kidney stones
- Planning pregnancy with family history of metabolic conditions
Many patients in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban have found life-changing answers through this testing, allowing them to finally understand patterns that have puzzled them for years.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Health
Getting tested for Xanthinuria Type 1 isn’t just about diagnosis – it’s about prevention and proactive health management. Early detection allows you to:
- Prevent recurrent kidney stone formation through targeted dietary management
- Avoid unnecessary medications and treatments that don’t address the root cause
- Make informed decisions about family planning and genetic counselling
- Reduce anxiety by understanding your body’s unique metabolic needs
- Save on long-term healthcare costs by preventing complications
Knowing your genetic status empowers you to work with healthcare providers on a personalised management plan that actually works for your specific condition.
