Gaucher Disease Quantitative Blood Test is a specialized diagnostic tool designed to detect and quantify specific markers associated with Gaucher Disease, a rare genetic disorder. This disease results from the deficiency of an enzyme called glucocerebrosidase, leading to the accumulation of harmful substances in organs such as the liver, spleen, and bone marrow. Symptoms can vary widely and may include fatigue, bruising, bone pain, and enlargement of the liver or spleen.

The test is performed by analyzing a blood sample to measure the activity level of glucocerebrosidase or the concentration of glucosylsphingosine, a biomarker for Gaucher Disease. This quantitative approach allows for a precise assessment of enzyme activity, facilitating early diagnosis and monitoring of the disease. Early detection is crucial for managing symptoms and preventing long-term complications through treatments like enzyme replacement therapy.

DNA Labs UAE offers this critical diagnostic test for a cost of 440 AED. The laboratory is equipped with advanced technology to ensure accurate and reliable results, supporting both patients and healthcare providers in the effective management of Gaucher Disease.

GAUCHER DISEASE QUANTITATIVE BLOOD Test

At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the GAUCHER DISEASE QUANTITATIVE BLOOD Test at a cost of AED 440.0.

Test Details

The GAUCHER DISEASE QUANTITATIVE BLOOD Test is a quantitative blood test that measures the levels of a specific enzyme called glucocerebrosidase (GCase) in the blood. This test is used to diagnose and monitor Gaucher disease, a genetic disorder characterized by the deficiency or malfunction of GCase.

To perform this test, a blood sample of 10 mL (with a minimum of 7.5 mL) is required. The sample should be collected in 3 Lavender Top (EDTA) or Green Top (Sodium heparin) tubes. It is important to ship the sample refrigerated and not freeze it. Clinical details must accompany the sample for accurate analysis.

Report Delivery

The sample is processed daily and the report is delivered within 4 days by 4 pm.

Method

The GAUCHER DISEASE QUANTITATIVE BLOOD Test is performed using an enzyme assay.

Test Type

This test falls under the category of inborn errors of metabolism.

Doctor

The GAUCHER DISEASE QUANTITATIVE BLOOD Test is typically ordered by a Pediatrician.

Test Department

This test is conducted in our Genetic department.

Pre Test Information

Clinical details must accompany the sample for accurate analysis.

Additional Information

The GAUCHER DISEASE QUANTITATIVE BLOOD Test is an important tool in the diagnosis and monitoring of Gaucher disease. It measures the activity level of GCase in the blood and compares it to the normal range to determine if there is a deficiency or dysfunction of the enzyme. This test can also be used to assess the effectiveness of enzyme replacement therapy, a common treatment for Gaucher disease.

Furthermore, the GAUCHER DISEASE QUANTITATIVE BLOOD Test can aid in identifying carriers of Gaucher disease and determining the risk of passing on the condition to offspring. However, it is important to note that a quantitative blood test alone is not sufficient for definitively diagnosing Gaucher disease. Additional tests, such as genetic testing and imaging studies, may be required for a comprehensive diagnosis.

Test Details

A quantitative blood test for Gaucher disease measures the levels of a specific enzyme called glucocerebrosidase (GCase) in the blood. Gaucher disease is a genetic disorder characterized by the deficiency or malfunction of this enzyme.

The test involves taking a blood sample from the patient and measuring the activity of GCase in the sample. The activity level of GCase in the blood is then compared to the normal range to determine if there is a deficiency or dysfunction of the enzyme.

This quantitative blood test helps in the diagnosis and monitoring of Gaucher disease. It can also be used to assess the effectiveness of enzyme replacement therapy, a common treatment for the disease. Additionally, the test can aid in identifying carriers of Gaucher disease and determining the risk of passing on the condition to offspring.

It is important to note that a quantitative blood test alone is not sufficient for diagnosing Gaucher disease definitively. Additional tests, such as genetic testing and imaging studies, may be required for a comprehensive diagnosis.
