Sickle Cell Disease & Thalassemia Testing

Early Detection of Inherited Blood Disorders

Sickle Cell Disease and Thalassemia are inherited blood disorders that affect the production and function of hemoglobin, the protein responsible for carrying oxygen throughout the body. Early diagnosis helps individuals and families make informed healthcare and reproductive decisions.

At RaktGen Works, we offer advanced testing to identify whether you are a carrier, affected individual, or free from these genetic conditions.

Common Diagnostic Tests

A CBC is often the first screening test and helps evaluate:

Red blood cell count and size
Hemoglobin levels
Signs of anemia or abnormal blood cell production

Hemoglobin Electrophoresis & HPLC

These specialized tests accurately identify different types of hemoglobin and help diagnose:

Sickle Cell Disease
Sickle Cell Trait
Thalassemia
Other hemoglobin disorders

Genetic (DNA) Testing

Genetic analysis detects the specific gene mutations responsible for sickle cell disease and thalassemia, providing definitive confirmation and carrier status information.
