Thalassemia Profile

Thalassemia Profile is a group of tests that helps in identifying Thalassemia, a condition that affects the body’s ability to produce normal hemoglobin. If this condition is not found early, it can lead to anaemia, fatigue and several other health complications.

Complete Blood Count

The test gives all the necessary details about your blood, including hemoglobin level, red and white blood cells and platelets. It helps in identifying anaemia and abnormal shapes of red blood cells, which are commonly seen in individuals with thalassemia.

Iron Profile – Anaemia & Iron Overload

The tests include Serum Iron, TIBC (Total Iron Binding Capacity), UIBC and Transferrin Saturation. It helps in differentiating thalassemia from iron deficiency anaemia and also assesses the risk of iron overload which is common in thalassemia major due to frequent blood transfusions.

Hemoglobin Electrophoresis – High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)

This is the best way to determine whether a person carries thalassemia traits or has the disease. It is used to detect elevated levels of HbA2 and HbF which are commonly found in people with thalassemia.
