When Is the Osmotic Fragility Test Prescribed?

The fragility test is prescribed if a person has been displaying symptoms that may indicate anaemia. These include:

Headaches

Dizziness or light-headedness

Fatigue

Chest pain

Irregular heartbeats

Cold hands and feet

Weakness

Irregular breathing

Pale or yellow skin

In addition to this, the test is also prescribed by healthcare professionals when investigating blood disorders like:

Thalassemia

The osmotic fragility test helps diagnose thalassemia, a genetic blood disorder that is characterised by abnormal haemoglobin production. Using the osmotic fragility test in a thalassemia diagnosis can help manage the condition in a better way.

Spherocytosis

Another application of the osmotic fragility test is in spherocytosis diagnosis. In this disorder, the red blood cells assume a spherical shape, which can significantly impact their function, causing them to weaken.

Sickle Cell Anaemia

In diagnosing sickle cell anaemia, the osmotic fragility test is prescribed quite commonly by healthcare professionals. Sickle cell anaemia is a hereditary condition that causes the red blood cells to adopt a distinctive sickle shape, which may lead to various complications.

Time Required for Test Report + Next Steps

The osmotic fragility test result is typically generated within 48 hours after sample collection. You can collect the report in person from a nearby Max Lab or you can download it directly from our website. The possible results of the osmotic fragility test are positive and negative, where a positive result may indicate the presence of a blood disorder.

For a proper interpretation of the osmotic fragility test results, it is always wise to visit a doctor, who will be able to perform a diagnosis and build a proper treatment plan or suggest further testing, if required.
