Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's)

Thalassemia is an inherited blood disorder that affects the production of hemoglobin. There are two types of thalassemia tests: the hemoglobin electrophoresis test and the DNA test.

The hemoglobin electrophoresis test separates out different types of hemoglobin in a sample of blood. This test can show if there is a decrease in the amount of alpha-globin in the blood.

The DNA test looks for mutations in the genes that encode alpha globin proteins. This test can confirm a diagnosis of alpha thalassemia.

The Thalassemia test is used to diagnose the blood disorder known as thalassemia. This disorder is characterized by abnormal hemoglobin production, which can lead to anemia.

The Thalassemia test should be taken as soon as possible after you find out that you are pregnant. This is because the test can help to diagnose the condition early on in the pregnancy, and if you have Thalassemia, treatment can be started straight away.

The normal range for the thalassemia test is between 9 and 30 picograms per milliliter (pg/mL). This test measures the level of hemoglobin in your blood. Hemoglobin is a protein that carries oxygen in your blood.

There are a few things you can do to lower your thalassemia test level.

- One is to avoid iron-rich foods and supplements, as they can increase the amount of iron in your blood and worsen your condition.

- Another is to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids, which will help your body eliminate excess iron.

- You should also avoid alcohol and smoking, as they can further damage your red blood cells and make your condition worse.

- Finally, make sure to keep up with your treatment plan and take your medications as prescribed by your doctor.

Yes, it is safe to take a Thalassemia test. A blood sample will be taken from a vein in your arm and sent to a Max laboratory for analysis.

Precautions to take before Thalassemia Test:

1. Get a complete blood count (CBC) done. This will give your doctor an idea of your current health and whether or not you are suitable for the test.

2. Drink plenty of fluids and avoid dehydration before the test. Dehydration can cause false results.

3. Avoid taking any iron supplements or eating foods rich in iron for at least a week before the test. Iron can interfere with the test results.

4. Tell your doctor about any medications you are taking, as some of them can also affect the results of the test.

Yes, fasting is required but not mandatory for the Thalassemia test. As fasting helps to ensure that there is no food in your stomach or intestines that could potentially interfere with the absorption of the iron supplement you will be taking before the test.

Yes, home sample collection is available for Thalassemia Test. One can opt for home collection while booking a test through Max Lab.
