What is "hemoglobin electrophoresis"?
Hemoglobin electrophoresis is a test used to identify and measure different types of hemoglobin in the blood. Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. During this test, a blood sample is applied to a special gel, and an electric current is used to separate the various types of hemoglobin based on their movement. This separation helps diagnose and manage disorders related to hemoglobin, such as sickle cell disease and thalassemia. The test can show if there are abnormal types of hemoglobin that could be causing or affecting blood-related health issues.
