Sperm DNA Fragmentation Testing Center in Hyderabad and Chennai

DFI (DNA Fragmentation Index)

At the Asian Institute of Nephrology and Urology (AINU), we offer advanced DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) testing to evaluate sperm DNA integrity. Our DFI tests provide crucial insights into male fertility, helping diagnose and address fertility challenges with precision.

What is the DNA Fragmentation Index?

The DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) measures the percentage of sperm with damaged or fragmented DNA. High levels of sperm DNA fragmentation can negatively impact fertility and increase the risk of miscarriages and failed pregnancies. The DFI sperm test is essential for a thorough evaluation of sperm health and reproductive potential.

Understanding the DFI Sperm Test Procedure

The DFI sperm test procedure involves collecting a semen sample and analyzing the sperm DNA for fragmentation. This test helps identify issues that may not be detected by standard semen analysis, providing a more comprehensive evaluation of male fertility.

Sample Collection: A semen sample is collected through masturbation into a sterile container. It's important to abstain from ejaculation for 2-5 days before the test for optimal results.
Initial Assessment: The sample is evaluated for volume and concentration.
Sperm DNA Fragmentation Analysis: The sample undergoes a specialized staining process using acridine orange dye, which binds to DNA. The sample is then analyzed using flow cytometry or a fluorescence microscope to detect the level of DNA fragmentation. This process quantifies the percentage of sperm with fragmented DNA, providing the DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI).

Importance of Sperm DNA Fragmentation Index Testing

Sperm DNA fragmentation can result from various factors, including oxidative stress, lifestyle choices, infections, and age. Understanding your DFI is crucial for

Diagnosing Unexplained Infertility: High DFI levels can explain cases of unexplained infertility, guiding appropriate treatments.
Evaluating the Risk of Recurrent Pregnancy Loss: High DFI levels are associated with an increased risk of miscarriages.
Enhancing ART Success Rates: Reducing DNA fragmentation can improve the outcomes of assisted reproductive techniques (ART) such as IVF and ICSI.
