HB Electrophoresis is a diagnostic test that separates and identifies different types of hemoglobin in the blood to diagnose hemoglobin disorders.

This test is used to diagnose conditions like sickle cell disease and thalassemia, monitor disease progression, and screen for hemoglobin disorders.

No special preparation is needed. You can eat and drink normally, but inform your healthcare provider about any medications or health conditions.

Results are typically available within 2 to 3 days after the test.

The results provide information on the different types of hemoglobin present and their quantities, helping to diagnose and manage hemoglobin disorders and genetic conditions.

Thyroid surgery involves the removal of part or all of the thyroid gland to treat conditions such as thyroid nodules, goiter, or thyroid cancer.

G6PD deficiency is a genetic disorder that affects the red blood cells, making them more vulnerable to breaking down prematurely.

Symptoms such as fatigue, jaundice, dark urine, or a family history of G6PD deficiency may indicate the need for this test.

The G6PD test is a simple blood test with minimal risks, similar to any standard blood draw.

Management includes avoiding triggers such as certain medications, foods, and infections that can cause hemolysis.

Early detection in newborns can prevent severe jaundice and related complications by guiding appropriate care and dietary adjustments.
