What is Hb Electrophoresis?
Hemoglobin (Hb) Electrophoresis is a specialized blood test used to measure and identify the different types of hemoglobin in the bloodstream. It is considered the gold standard for diagnosing Thalassemia and other inherited blood disorders (hemoglobinopathies). For families seeking an Hb Electrophoresis test in Kolkata, this screening is vital for identifying carrier status and managing genetic health.
Why is this Test Necessary?
This test helps doctors detect abnormal forms of hemoglobin or unbalanced levels of normal hemoglobin:
- Thalassemia Screening: Detects Alpha or Beta Thalassemia traits.
- Sickle Cell Disease: Identifies the presence of Hemoglobin S.
- Hemoglobin Variants: Detects rare variants like HbC or HbE which are common in specific regions.
- Prenatal Planning: Essential for couples to understand the risk of passing genetic disorders to children.
