What is Alpha Galactosidase Fabry?

This blood test measures the activity of the alpha-galactosidase A enzyme in your body. This enzyme is crucial for breaking down certain fatty substances, and its deficiency can lead to a buildup of these substances in various organs.

Why is this test important?

A low level of alpha-galactosidase A activity is indicative of Fabry disease, a rare genetic disorder. Early diagnosis is vital for managing symptoms and preventing severe complications affecting the kidneys, heart, and nervous system.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
