Sickle Cell

Our Sickle Cell Blood Test is designed to identify whether you carry or have the sickle cell trait or disease. This test analyses your blood for abnormal haemoglobin (HbS), which can cause red blood cells to form a sickle shape and affect oxygen delivery throughout the body.

🔬 What This Test Detects

• Presence of sickle cell trait (carrier status)
• Confirmation of sickle cell disease
• Differentiation between normal and abnormal haemoglobin types

💡 Why Take This Test

Sickle cell testing is recommended for:

• Individuals with a family history of sickle cell disease
• Those planning to start a family and want to understand genetic risks
• People experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, anaemia, or frequent infections
