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.

Types include laparoscopic, abdominal, robotic-assisted, and hysterectomy with endometriosis excision, depending on the extent of the disease and patient factors.

The test involves collecting a small blood sample, usually through a finger prick or venous draw, and testing it for malaria antigens.

Rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) can detect antigens specific to Plasmodium falciparum, Plasmodium vivax, or both, depending on the test used.

Yes, RDTs are generally reliable for detecting malaria antigens, with high specificity and sensitivity when performed correctly.

Some RDTs can differentiate between P. falciparum and other malaria species, aiding in targeted treatment strategies.

The test involves a simple blood draw with minimal risks, such as minor bruising at the puncture site.
