Thalassaemia Screen Blood Test

Concerned about thalassaemia or unexplained anaemia? This test checks for haemoglobin variants and red blood cell abnormalities to help identify thalassaemia traits or beta thalassaemia major. Thalassaemia is more common in individuals from Mediterranean, South Asian, Middle Eastern, and African backgrounds.

Note: this test can't exclude mild or carrier forms of alpha thalassaemia – a genetic test is required for confirmation.
