What this test is

The Sickle Cell Anemia Screening Test is a laboratory examination designed to detect the presence of abnormal hemoglobin types in the blood. It is a preliminary step in identifying potential sickle cell disorders.

What it measures

  • Hemoglobin S — detects the presence of the abnormal hemoglobin associated with sickle cell disease
  • Hemoglobin A — detects the presence of normal adult hemoglobin
  • Hemoglobin C — detects the presence of another type of abnormal hemoglobin
  • Hemoglobin F — detects the presence of fetal hemoglobin
