What is Alpha Fucosidase?

The Alpha Fucosidase test measures the activity of the alpha-fucosidase enzyme in your blood. This enzyme is crucial for breaking down certain complex sugars in the body.

Why is this test important?

Low or absent alpha-fucosidase activity can indicate Fucosidosis, a rare genetic lysosomal storage disorder. This condition can lead to progressive neurological problems and other symptoms due to the accumulation of undigested materials.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
