About test
What does SICKLE CELL TEST measure?
The sickle cell test checks for haemoglobin S, an abnormal form of haemoglobin associated with sickle cell conditions. It may be used to help identify sickle cell trait or support evaluation for sickle cell disease, particularly in people with a family history or unexplained blood-related concerns. Results are interpreted alongside clinical history and, when needed, other blood tests.
