Overview of the Abnormal Hb Studies (Hb Electrophoresis)
Abnormal haemoglobin studies, also referred to as haemoglobin electrophoresis tests, are diagnostic procedures used to distinguish and identify the various forms of haemoglobin found in red blood cells. Proteins called haemoglobin are in charge of transporting carbon dioxide back to the lungs and oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues. During erythropoiesis, it is made in the bone marrow and is essential for preserving the flexibility and form of red blood cells. To detect and track diseases including sickle cell anaemia, thalassaemias, and other hemoglobinopathies, the Hb electrophoresis test in vizag employs an electrical current to differentiate normal and abnormal haemoglobin types, such as HbA, HbA2, HbF, HbS, and HbC, among others.
Price of the Abnormal Hb Studies (Hb Electrophoresis) in vizag
The Abnormal Hb Studies or Hb Electrophoresis test price in vizag can vary depending on factors such as the laboratory, location, and type of test (e.g., gel electrophoresis, HPLC test). On average, the HPLC test price in vizag ranges from Rs1150 to Rs1400. It is essential to note that Hb electrophoresis test price in <City> may differ between standalone laboratories and hospital-based facilities.

Tests Included in Abnormal Hb Studies (Hb Electrophoresis)
The haemoglobin electrophoresis test in vizag includes several individual tests that provide a comprehensive analysis of haemoglobin types:
- Foetal Haemoglobin (HbF), Quantitative: Measures the main type of haemoglobin in foetuses and newborns. Elevated levels in adults can indicate conditions like thalassemia, aplastic anaemia, or leukaemia.
- Haemoglobin C (HbC): Detects an abnormal haemoglobin that can cause haemoglobin C disease or more severe symptoms when combined with other abnormal haemoglobins.
- Haemoglobin D (HbD): Detects another abnormal haemoglobin that can cause mild haemolytic anaemia when combined with other abnormal haemoglobins.
- Haemoglobin S (HbS): Detects the abnormal haemoglobin responsible for sickle cell disease.
- Haemoglobin E (HbE): Detects an abnormal haemoglobin common in Southeast Asian populations that can cause thalassaemia or haemolytic anaemia.
- P2 Window and P3 Window: These are zones or windows in capillary electrophoresis where specific haemoglobins migrate, helping in their identification and quantification.
- Haemoglobin A (HbA): Measures the primary haemoglobin type in healthy adults. Reduced levels can indicate the presence of abnormal haemoglobins or haemoglobinopathies.
- Haemoglobin A2 (HbA2): Measures a minor component of adult haemoglobin. Elevated levels can be seen in beta-thalassemia, while decreased levels can indicate delta-beta thalassemia.
Optional tests may include:
- Haemoglobin: Assesses the overall amount of haemoglobin in the blood, indicating oxygen-carrying capacity. Low haemoglobin levels typically suggest anaemia or other underlying health issues.
- RBC Count: Measures the number of red blood cells in a given volume of blood. It helps assess the body’s ability to transport oxygen and can indicate anaemia or polycythaemia.
- PCV (Packed Cell Volume): Measures the proportion of blood volume occupied by red blood cells. Abnormal PCV levels can signal dehydration, anaemia, or other haematological disorders.
- MCH (Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin): Measures the average amount of haemoglobin in each red blood cell. It aids in classifying types of anaemia, with low values often seen in iron deficiency anaemia.
- MCHC (Mean Corpuscular Haemoglobin Concentration): Measures the average concentration of haemoglobin in each red blood cell. Abnormal MCHC values can indicate conditions such as spherocytosis or hypochromic anaemia.
- MCV (Mean Corpuscular Volume): MCV evaluates the average size of red blood cells, helping to classify anaemia as microcytic, normocytic, or macrocytic.
- R.D.W (Red Cell Distribution Width): R.D.W assesses the variation in the size of red blood cells, providing insights into the heterogeneity of the cell population. Elevated RDW can suggest conditions like iron deficiency anaemia or other blood disorders.
- Peripheral Smear Finding: A peripheral blood smear provides a visual assessment of blood cells, revealing morphology and abnormalities. It helps diagnose various haematological disorders and assess overall blood cell health.
What Conditions Can be Diagnosed with the Abnormal Hb Studies (Hb Electrophoresis)?
The Hb HPLC test in vizag can help diagnose various conditions related to abnormal haemoglobin production:
- Sickle Cell Anaemia: Caused by the presence of HbS, leading to misshapen and rigid red blood cells.
- Thalassaemias: Inherited blood disorders characterised by reduced or absent production of normal haemoglobin chains.
- Haemoglobinopathies: Disorders caused by structural abnormalities in the haemoglobin molecule, such as haemoglobin C disease or haemoglobin E disease.
- Haemolytic Anaemia: A condition in which red blood cells are destroyed faster than they can be replaced, often due to abnormal haemoglobin.
Abnormal Hb Studies (Hb Electrophoresis) Requirements in vizag
To undergo an Hemoglobin electrophoresis test in vizag, you will need to:
- Provide a blood sample collected by a phlebotomist. The procedure involves cleaning the skin, inserting a needle into a vein, and drawing blood into a tube.
- The collected sample is then sent to a laboratory for processing and analysis using the haemoglobin electrophoresis technique.
- No special preparation or fasting is typically required before the haemoglobin electrophoresis test in vizag.
Reports of the Abnormal Hb Studies (Hb Electrophoresis)
The table below shows the components of the Hb electrophoresis test and their normal ranges:
Component | Normal Range |
HbA | 95-98% |
HbA2 | 2-3% |
HbF | <2% |
HbS, HbC, HbD, HbE | Absent |
Note: The values of these tests can vary depending on the laboratory, age, sex and underlying conditions.
Lifestyle Changes to Reach a Normal Range on the Abnormal Hb Studies (Hb Electrophoresis)
While haemoglobin disorders are primarily genetic, certain lifestyle changes can help manage symptoms and improve overall health. These include:
- Maintain a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water
- Engage in regular physical activity as tolerated
- Avoid extreme temperatures and high altitudes
- Manage stress through relaxation techniques like meditation or yoga
- Attend regular check-ups with a doctor to monitor the condition
