What is the maximum days the report can be obtained for the test

The maximum days the report can be obtained for the Aryl Sulphatase B Test is typically 7-10 business days. However, this may vary depending on the specific laboratory or healthcare provider conducting the test.

What are the prerequisites for the test Aryl Sulphatase B Test

  • 1. Patient must fast for at least 4 hours before the test
  • 2. Inform the healthcare provider about any medications or supplements being taken
  • 3. Let the healthcare provider know if there are any known allergies to medications or latex
  • 4. Avoid strenuous physical activity before the test
  • 5. Inform the healthcare provider if there is a history of bleeding disorders

What are the measure values for the test Aryl Sulphatase B Test

  • Normal: 0.04-0.35 units per gram of hemoglobin
  • Carrier: 0.02-0.04 units per gram of hemoglobin
  • Affected: 0.00-0.02 units per gram of hemoglobin

What does this test Aryl Sulphatase B Test identify?

Aryl Sulphatase B Test

The Aryl Sulphatase B Test is a diagnostic test used to identify a deficiency of the enzyme Aryl Sulphatase B. This enzyme is responsible for breaking down certain substances in the body, particularly sulphatides. A deficiency of Aryl Sulphatase B can lead to the accumulation of sulphatides in various tissues, particularly in the brain and spinal cord.

Individuals with a deficiency of Aryl Sulphatase B may develop a condition known as Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD), which is a rare genetic disorder characterized by progressive deterioration of the nervous system. Symptoms of MLD can include muscle weakness, seizures, developmental delays, and loss of motor skills.

The Aryl Sulphatase B Test involves measuring the activity of the enzyme in blood, urine, or other tissues. A decreased level of Aryl Sulphatase B activity indicates a deficiency of the enzyme, which can help in the diagnosis of MLD.

Why is this test Aryl Sulphatase B Test taken?

  • Reason for Test: The Aryl Sulphatase B Test is taken to diagnose or monitor genetic disorders such as Maroteaux-Lamy syndrome (MPS VI) and Multiple sulfatase deficiency (MSD). These conditions are caused by a deficiency of the enzyme Aryl Sulphatase B, which leads to the accumulation of certain molecules in the body.
  • Procedure: During the test, a blood sample is collected from the patient and sent to a laboratory for analysis. The level of Aryl Sulphatase B enzyme activity in the sample is measured to determine if the patient has a deficiency of this enzyme.
  • Interpretation of Results: Low levels of Aryl Sulphatase B enzyme activity indicate a potential genetic disorder such as MPS VI or MSD. Further genetic testing may be required to confirm the diagnosis.
  • Importance of Test: Early detection of genetic disorders such as MPS VI and MSD is crucial for initiating appropriate treatment and management strategies. The Aryl Sulphatase B Test plays a key role in the diagnosis and monitoring of these conditions.
