About this test

If you experience unexplained tiredness, persistent anaemia, or have a family history of blood disorders, this test can help uncover the cause. It analyses the types of haemoglobin in your blood to detect inherited conditions like sickle cell disease and thalassaemia. By identifying abnormal haemoglobin patterns, this test provides crucial insights into your red blood cell health and how efficiently your body carries oxygen.
