Sickle cell anemia is an inherited blood disorder in which red blood cells take on a crescent or sickle shape, impairing their ability to carry oxygen and move smoothly through blood vessels. A sickle cell anemia screening test evaluates the presence of abnormal hemoglobin to help identify the condition or carrier status.

About Sickle Cell Anemia Screening Test in Midvale

The sickle cell anemia screening test examines hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein inside red blood cells, to detect the variant associated with sickle cell disease.

Hemoglobin is made of protein chains, and a mutation in the beta-globin gene produces hemoglobin S. When a person inherits two copies of this mutation, red blood cells can deform into rigid, sickle-shaped cells that break down prematurely and block blood flow.

Screening typically involves a blood draw from a vein in the arm. The sample is analyzed using methods such as hemoglobin electrophoresis or high-performance liquid chromatography, which separate and identify the different types of hemoglobin present.

Results can show normal hemoglobin, sickle cell trait, or sickle cell disease. Sickle cell trait means a person carries one copy of the mutation and generally does not have symptoms, but can pass the gene to children. A confirmed diagnosis of sickle cell disease requires clinical correlation and may involve additional testing.
