The “Galactosemia Classical Transferase Quantitative Blood Test” is a specialized diagnostic procedure performed to detect Galactosemia, a rare genetic disorder that affects an individual’s ability to metabolize the sugar galactose properly. This condition arises due to a deficiency in the enzyme galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT), which is crucial for the conversion of galactose into glucose, a form of sugar that the body can utilize for energy.

The test involves a quantitative analysis of the GALT enzyme activity in the blood, providing a precise measure of its level. This is essential for confirming a diagnosis of Classical Galactosemia, differentiating it from other forms of the disorder, and guiding appropriate dietary and medical management to prevent serious complications such as liver disease, intellectual disability, and cataracts.

At DNA Labs UAE, the test is offered for a cost of 440 AED. The laboratory is equipped with advanced diagnostic technologies and staffed by professionals with expertise in genetic and metabolic disorders, ensuring accurate and reliable results. This test is crucial for early detection and intervention, which can significantly improve the quality of life for individuals with Galactosemia.

GALACTOSEMIA CLASSICAL TRANSFERASE QUANTITATIVE BLOOD Test

At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the GALACTOSEMIA CLASSICAL TRANSFERASE QUANTITATIVE BLOOD test to help diagnose classical galactosemia, a rare genetic disorder that affects the body’s ability to break down galactose.

Test Details

The GALACTOSEMIA CLASSICAL TRANSFERASE QUANTITATIVE BLOOD test is a diagnostic tool used to measure the levels of transferase enzyme activity in the blood. This test specifically helps in diagnosing classical galactosemia, which is characterized by the absence or significantly reduced activity of the transferase enzyme.

Test Components and Price

Test Name: GALACTOSEMIA CLASSICAL TRANSFERASE QUANTITATIVE BLOOD Test
Components: 4 mL (2 mL min.) whole blood from 1 Green Top (Sodium Heparin) tube. Ship refrigerated. DO NOT FREEZE. Avoid sample collection for 60 days post transfusion. Clinical and drug history must accompany sample.
Price: 440.0 AED

Test Method

The GALACTOSEMIA CLASSICAL TRANSFERASE QUANTITATIVE BLOOD test is performed using an enzyme assay method. The blood sample collected from the individual is analyzed in a laboratory setting to measure the levels of transferase enzyme activity.

Test Type

The GALACTOSEMIA CLASSICAL TRANSFERASE QUANTITATIVE BLOOD test falls under the category of inborn errors of metabolism tests. It helps in identifying genetic disorders related to the body’s metabolism.

Doctor and Test Department

Doctor: Pediatrician
Test Department: GENETIC

Pre Test Information

It is important to avoid sample collection for 60 days post transfusion. Clinical and drug history must accompany the sample to ensure accurate results.

Symptoms and Diagnosis

Classical galactosemia is characterized by the accumulation of galactose and its metabolites in the body due to the absence or reduced activity of the transferase enzyme. This can lead to various symptoms and complications. Early detection and diagnosis of classical galactosemia are crucial to prevent severe complications such as liver damage, intellectual disability, and cataracts.

Treatment and Management

Once diagnosed, treatment for classical galactosemia usually involves strict dietary management, which includes avoiding foods that contain galactose. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional or genetic counselor for further information and guidance if you suspect galactosemia or have a family history of the condition.

Test Details

The GALACTOSEMIA CLASSICAL (TRANSFERASE) QUANTITATIVE BLOOD test is a diagnostic tool used to measure the levels of transferase enzyme activity in the blood. This test is specifically used to diagnose classical galactosemia, which is a rare genetic disorder that affects the body’s ability to break down galactose, a sugar found in milk and other dairy products.

In individuals with classical galactosemia, the transferase enzyme is either completely absent or significantly reduced in activity. This leads to the accumulation of galactose and its metabolites in the body, causing various symptoms and complications.

The quantitative blood test involves taking a blood sample from the individual and analyzing it in a laboratory setting. The levels of transferase enzyme activity are measured, and if the activity is significantly low or absent, it indicates a diagnosis of classical galactosemia.

Early detection and diagnosis of classical galactosemia are crucial to prevent severe complications, such as liver damage, intellectual disability, and cataracts. Treatment usually involves strict dietary management, avoiding foods that contain galactose.

It is important to consult with a healthcare professional or genetic counselor for further information and guidance if you suspect galactosemia or have a family history of the condition.
