Haemoglobin Hb Blood Test in Vijayawada

What Does an Hb Electrophoresis Test Measure in Vijayawada?

This test separates and measures different types of haemoglobin to identify any abnormal variants:

• Normal haemoglobin types: Measures haemoglobin A (the most common type in healthy adults) and haemoglobin F (foetal haemoglobin)
• Abnormal haemoglobin variants: Detects haemoglobin associated with sickle cell disease
• Haemoglobin A2 levels: Elevated levels may indicate beta-thalassaemia trait.
• Overall haemoglobin distribution: Shows the percentage of each haemoglobin type in your blood

Who Should Consider an Hb Electrophoresis Test?

Several groups of people may benefit from this important diagnostic test:

• Individuals with unexplained anaemia: Those experiencing persistent health conditions like fatigue, weakness, or pale skin despite iron treatment.
• People with a family history: Those with relatives who have thalassaemia, sickle cell disease, or other blood disorders.
• Couples planning pregnancy: For premarital or preconception screening to understand genetic health risks.
• Newborns and children: When routine blood tests show abnormal red blood cell patterns.
• Individuals from high-risk communities: People from regions where haemoglobin disorders are more common.

What Is the Purpose of an Hb Electrophoresis Test?

The Hb electrophoresis test serves as a crucial diagnostic tool for identifying genetic blood disorders that affect haemoglobin production. This test enables early diagnosis of conditions, like thalassaemia and sickle cell disease, supporting proper treatment planning, genetic counselling for families, and informed decision-making for couples planning to have children.
