Order Sickle Cell Anemia Screening TestSickle cell anemia is an inherited blood disorder in which red blood cells take on a crescent or sickle shape, leading to chronic anemia, pain episodes, and other complications. A sickle cell anemia screening test evaluates the presence of abnormal hemoglobin to help identify individuals who carry or express the condition.
About Sickle Cell Anemia Screening Test in Perris
The sickle cell anemia screening test examines hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein inside red blood cells.
Hemoglobin is made of protein chains, and variations in the genes that build those chains can produce abnormal forms such as hemoglobin S. When hemoglobin S is present, red blood cells may distort into a sickle shape, which can block blood flow and break down prematurely.
Screening typically begins with a blood sample collected from a vein. The sample is analyzed using methods such as hemoglobin electrophoresis, high-performance liquid chromatography, or isoelectric focusing, which separate and identify the different hemoglobin types present.
Results can show normal hemoglobin, sickle cell trait, or a form of sickle cell disease. Sickle cell trait means a person carries one abnormal gene and generally does not have the disease, while inheriting two abnormal genes results in sickle cell anemia.
