Hemoglobin electrophoresis — screens for sickle cell trait and disease in Tucson.
Service Description
Walk in or book online for your Sickle Cell Screen Test in Tucson today. About This Test Sickle cell disease results from a mutation in the hemoglobin gene that produces abnormal hemoglobin S (HbS). Under low-oxygen conditions, HbS causes red blood cells to deform into rigid, crescent-shaped sickles that can block blood vessels and cause painful crises, anemia, and organ damage. This screen uses hemoglobin electrophoresis or HPLC to separate and identify hemoglobin types, detecting both sickle cell disease (HbSS — two copies of the mutation, symptomatic) and sickle cell trait (HbAS — one copy, typically asymptomatic but hereditary and relevant to family planning). Sickle cell trait is more common than most people realize — affecting approximately 1 in 13 African Americans and also found in individuals of Caribbean, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and South Asian ancestry. Two trait carriers have a one-in-four chance per pregnancy of having a child with sickle cell disease. Who This Test Is For Individuals of African, Caribbean, Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, or South Asian ancestry who have never been screened for sickle cell status. Couples planning a family who want to understand hereditary risk before conception. Athletes preparing for high-intensity training who need to know whether sickle cell trait is present. Anyone preparing for surgery or anesthesia who needs hemoglobin type documentation. What to Expect & Preparation Preparation: No special preparation needed. Fasting is not required.
