Sperm DNA Fragmentation DFI Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the Sperm DNA Fragmentation DFI Test to assess the integrity of the genetic material in sperm cells and identify potential causes of male infertility.
Test Details
The Sperm DNA Fragmentation DFI (DNA Fragmentation Index) test is a laboratory test that measures the level of DNA damage in sperm. It assesses the integrity of the genetic material in sperm cells and can help identify potential causes of male infertility.
During the test, sperm cells are isolated from a semen sample and their DNA is extracted. The DNA is then analyzed to determine the percentage of fragmented DNA present. A higher DFI value indicates a higher level of DNA damage in the sperm, which can negatively impact fertility.
Sperm DNA fragmentation can occur due to various factors such as oxidative stress, infections, exposure to toxins, advanced age, or genetic abnormalities. High levels of DNA fragmentation have been associated with decreased sperm quality, reduced sperm motility, and lower pregnancy rates.
The DFI test can be used as a diagnostic tool to assess male fertility potential and guide appropriate treatment options. It can help determine the need for assisted reproductive techniques such as in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), which can bypass the effects of DNA damage in sperm.
Overall, the Sperm DNA Fragmentation DFI test provides valuable information about the quality of sperm DNA and can aid in the evaluation and management of male infertility.

Pre Test Information
The sperm DNA fragmentation test checks for the integrity of the genetic material (DNA) in sperm. Many lifestyle factors such as smoking, scrotal heat exposure are causes of male infertility. Varicocele and chronic infection also lead to sperm DNA damage. High DNA fragmentation accounts for cases of unexplained infertility, recurrent miscarriage, and failed IVF cycles.
