HAPTOGLOBIN Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the HAPTOGLOBIN test to evaluate and monitor conditions that cause inflammation or destruction of red blood cells. This test measures the level of haptoglobin in the blood, which is a protein produced by the liver and released into the bloodstream in response to inflammation or injury.
Test Details
The HAPTOGLOBIN test is a blood test that requires a 2 mL (1 mL min.) serum sample from 1 SST. It is recommended to ship the sample refrigerated or frozen, and overnight fasting is preferred. The test is performed using the immunoturbidimetry method.
Test Cost
The cost of the HAPTOGLOBIN test at DNA Labs UAE is AED 440.0.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
Abnormal haptoglobin levels may indicate an underlying condition or disease. High levels of haptoglobin may be seen in response to acute inflammation, infection, or tissue injury. Low levels of haptoglobin may be observed in conditions that cause increased destruction of red blood cells, such as hemolytic anemia or certain genetic disorders.
It is important to note that the HAPTOGLOBIN test is often used in conjunction with other tests and clinical evaluations to provide a more comprehensive assessment of a person’s health. The results should be interpreted by a healthcare professional in the context of the individual’s symptoms, medical history, and other laboratory findings.

Test Details | The Haptoglobin test is a blood test that measures the level of haptoglobin in the blood. Haptoglobin is a protein produced by the liver and released into the bloodstream in response to inflammation or injury. The test is primarily used to evaluate and monitor conditions that cause inflammation or destruction of red blood cells, such as hemolytic anemia, liver disease, or certain types of cancer. It can also be used to assess the severity and progression of these conditions. During the test, a healthcare provider will collect a blood sample from a vein in the arm. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. Results are typically available within a few days. Abnormal haptoglobin levels may indicate an underlying condition or disease. High levels of haptoglobin may be seen in response to acute inflammation, infection, or tissue injury. Low levels of haptoglobin may be observed in conditions that cause increased destruction of red blood cells, such as hemolytic anemia or certain genetic disorders. It is important to note that the haptoglobin test is often used in conjunction with other tests and clinical evaluations to provide a more comprehensive assessment of a person’s health.
