The Thalassemia Screening Profile comprises a group of blood tests that help diagnose and monitor thalassemia, a genetic blood disorder characterized by the production of defective hemoglobin. This test helps evaluate parameters like complete blood counts, hemoglobin variants, and iron levels, which are essential for diagnosing and managing the condition. It is available at an affordable price with Tata 1mg labs in Noida.

Consider getting tested with the Thalassemia Screening Profile in the following situations. If there is a known family history of thalassemia or other hemoglobinopathies. If symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, pale skin, etc. indicate anemia. If routine blood tests like CBC show abnormalities in red blood cells. As part of prenatal and newborn screening. If anemia does not respond to iron supplementation, suggesting a non-iron deficiency cause.

Overnight fasting is preferred, along with a few special preparations that need to be considered before undertaking the Thalassemia Screening Profile. However, these preparations may vary depending on the individual test included in this package.

What does Thalassemia Screening Profile measure?

Contains 7 tests

The Thalassemia Screening Profile includes a range of blood tests namely, Hemoglobin High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (Hb HPLC) test which tells about different variants of hemoglobin and helps identify the abnormal variant (e.g., HbA2, HbS etc.) and its proportion in the blood. The Complete Blood Count (CBC) test provides a holistic view of blood health. CBC test helps assess the overall health of the blood and identify signs of anemia, which is common in thalassemia. The Peripheral Smear Examination test looks at the shape and appearance of red blood cells, helping doctors identify any abnormalities linked to thalassemia. The Serum Iron Studies Comprehensive, which includes tests for ferritin, iron, total iron binding capacity (TIBC), unsaturated iron binding capacity (UIBC), and transferrin saturation, is key for assessing iron metabolism. These tests help doctors diagnose different types of thalassemia, track its progress, and create the right treatment plan, such as iron supplements or blood transfusions, to manage the condition and related issues.

The Hemoglobin HPLC / Electrophoresis test identifies and measures different types of hemoglobin in the blood to help diagnose and keep track of certain blood disorders. These types include: adult type (HbA2), fetal type (HbF), hemoglobin S (HbS), hemoglobin C (HbC), and hemoglobin E (HbE), among others.

Normal hemoglobin types:

  • Hemoglobin A (HbA): The main type of hemoglobin in healthy adults.
  • Hemoglobin F (HbF): Found in unborn babies and newborns. It is slowly replaced by HbA after birth.

If the levels of HbA or HbF are not normal, it may indicate certain types of anemia.

Abnormal hemoglobin types:

  • Hemoglobin S (HbS): Found in people with sickle cell anemia. It causes red blood cells to become stiff and sickle-shaped, leading to pain and other health problems.
  • Hemoglobin C (HbC): Linked to a condition called hemolytic anemia, where red blood cells break down faster than normal.
  • Hemoglobin E (HbE): Common in people from Southeast Asia. It may cause mild anemia or sometimes no symptoms at all.
  • Hemoglobin D (HbD): Causes mild hemolytic anemia and mild to moderate spleen enlargement. The Hb D Punjab variant is most commonly seen in people from Gujarat and among Sikhs of Punjab.

The Peripheral Smear Examination test is performed to check the characteristics of blood cells including:

  1. Red blood cells (RBCs)
  2. White blood cells (WBCs)
  3. Platelets

By placing the blood sample on a specifically treated slide, these blood components are analyzed under a microscope for their shape, size, and number. Any irregularity in these cells indicates blood disorders or abnormality, the presence of parasites in the blood, etc. This test is also a beneficial tool in monitoring a blood disease or deciding whether a certain medication or therapy is working effectively or not.

The Serum Iron Studies Comprehensive package measures the level of iron in the body. It comprises a series of blood tests, including serum iron test that helps to evaluate iron level, total iron binding capacity (TIBC) test that helps to assess the ability of the body to transport iron in the blood, unsaturated iron binding capacity (UIBC) test that reflects binding of iron with transferrin, which is the main protein that binds with iron, transferrin saturation test that checks how many places on the transferrin that can hold iron are doing so, and ferritin test that detects ferritin protein in the blood and helps determine how much iron is stored in your body.
