The Thalassemia Profile Test is a comprehensive diagnostic tool designed to detect thalassemia, a genetic blood disorder characterized by the reduction in hemoglobin or red blood cells in the body. This test is crucial for identifying the type of thalassemia (alpha or beta) and its severity, enabling healthcare providers to tailor treatment and management plans effectively.

Conducted at DNA Labs UAE, a reputable facility known for its advanced diagnostic services, the test involves analyzing a blood sample for mutations or changes in the genes associated with thalassemia. The process is straightforward, requiring only a simple blood draw, after which the sample is meticulously examined for specific genetic markers indicative of the disorder.

The cost of the Thalassemia Profile Test at DNA Labs UAE is 360 AED, making it accessible for those in need of this vital diagnostic service. Given the importance of early detection in managing thalassemia and preventing its complications, this test represents a critical step for at-risk individuals or those experiencing symptoms related to the disorder.

THALASSEMIA PROFILE Test

The THALASSEMIA PROFILE test is a blood test that evaluates the presence and severity of thalassemia, a genetic blood disorder that affects the production of hemoglobin. Thalassemia is characterized by reduced or abnormal hemoglobin production, leading to anemia and other complications.

Test Components

  • Iron Studies
  • CBC (Complete Blood Count)
  • Hemoglobin HPLC/Electrophoresis

Price

360.0 AED

Sample Condition

2 mL (1 mL min.) serum from 1 SST AND 5 mL (3.5 mL min.) whole blood from 2 Lavender Top (EDTA) tubes. Ship refrigerated. DO NOT FREEZE. Overnight fasting & sampling before 12 noon is preferred. Avoid iron supplements for minimum 24 hours prior to specimen collection.

Test Details

The THALASSEMIA PROFILE test is a blood test that evaluates the presence and severity of thalassemia, a genetic blood disorder that affects the production of hemoglobin. Thalassemia is characterized by reduced or abnormal hemoglobin production, leading to anemia and other complications. The THALASSEMIA PROFILE test typically includes the following components:

  1. Hemoglobin electrophoresis: This test separates and identifies different types of hemoglobin to determine if there are any abnormal variants present, such as hemoglobin S (associated with sickle cell disease) or hemoglobin E (associated with thalassemia).
  2. Complete blood count (CBC): This test measures the number of red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets in the blood. In thalassemia, the red blood cell count is usually low, and the red blood cells may be smaller and paler than normal.
  3. Reticulocyte count: This test measures the number of young red blood cells (reticulocytes) in the blood. A low reticulocyte count indicates decreased red blood cell production, which is common in thalassemia.
  4. Iron studies: These tests evaluate the body’s iron levels, including serum iron, ferritin, and transferrin saturation. Thalassemia patients may have normal or high ferritin levels due to increased iron absorption caused by ineffective red blood cell production.
  5. Genetic testing: In some cases, genetic testing may be performed to identify specific mutations in the genes responsible for thalassemia. This can help determine the type and severity of thalassemia present.

The THALASSEMIA PROFILE test helps healthcare providers diagnose and monitor thalassemia, determine the type and severity of the condition, and guide appropriate treatment decisions. Treatment for thalassemia may include blood transfusions, iron chelation therapy, and stem cell transplantation.
