HEMOGLOBIN HPLC/ELECTROPHORESIS

What is a Hemoglobin HPLC/Electrophoresis Test?

A Hemoglobin HPLC/Electrophoresis Test is a blood test used to identify and measure different types of hemoglobin present in the body. Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen throughout the body.

HB HPLC/Electrophoresis test is usually done to confirm the diagnosis of certain genetic conditions affecting blood, including thalassemia and sickle cell anemia, among others. This test may be ordered by your doctor after conducting normal blood tests that have revealed some form of anemia or abnormalities in the red blood cells.

HPLC refers to High Performance Liquid Chromatography while Electrophoresis is one of the most efficient laboratory testing methods.
 

Hemoglobin HPLC/Electrophoresis Test Parameters

The test usually includes:

• Hemoglobin A – Normal adult hemoglobin
• Hemoglobin A2 – Screening for beta thalassemia
• Hemoglobin F – Determination of fetal hemoglobin levels
• Abnormal Hemoglobin – HbS, HbD, HbE, and others.

These factors assist physicians to determine hemoglobin disorders and cause of anemia.
