Sickling Test1
FAQ
What is sickling?
The presence of the haemoglobin S gene in your body causes clumping of haemoglobin inside RBCs and it accumulates at one end of the cell deforming its shape from biconcave to crescent or sickle shape. This process is called sickling of the RBCs, which is why the test is called the Sickling Test.
What could affect sickling test results?
Blood transfusion might affect the results of sickling tests, as most of the patients undergo a blood transfusion. A false Sickling Anaemia test report can be due to the following:
False negative Results:
- Age < 6 months as Hb F level is high.
- Recent Blood transfusion
- Very low levels of HbS
False positive results:
- Unstable Hb
- Hyperproteinemia
What different types of tests are available to test sickle cell anaemia?
The different tests available for Sickle Cell Anaemia include:
- Peripheral smear examination
- Haemoglobin electrophoresis
- Sickle turbidity test
- DNA test & bone marrow test

Sterling Accuris Diagnostics offers a Sickling Test in Himmatnagar to check for Sickle Cell Anaemia that causes reduced levels of haemoglobin.
Overview of the Sickling Test (Sickle Cell Anaemia Test)
A Sickling Test is done to identify the presence of abnormal and disfigured red blood cells (RBCs), which occurs in a disorder called sickle cell anaemia. This is a hereditary disorder, in which the shape of RBCs changes from normal discoid/biconcave to sickle (Crescent/Spindle) shape. The deformed RBCs are associated with premature lysis/disintegration of RBCs that in turn result in lesser haemoglobin content in the blood. Lower haemoglobin content limits the oxygen-carrying capacity of blood causing severe health complications.
Book a Sickling Test near you to detect sickle cell anaemia on time before it leads to severe complications. Sterling Accuris Diagnostics offers a precise Sickling Test in Himmatnagar, with timely reports.
Why And When Is A Sickling Test Done?
A Sickling test is done to identify abnormal RBCs in case the person is showing health-related complications. The sickle shaped RBCs are associated with two disorders – Sickle Cell Trait & Sickle Cell Disease. A person with the Sickle cell trait has one sickle cell gene inherited and one normal gene,(This gene occurs in chromosome 11) and may not show any symptoms at all; but, the sickle cell disease is associated with complications like anaemia and is a lifelong condition.
A doctor may recommend a Sickling Test in the following cases:
- If someone experiences continual body pain, especially joint pains and abdominal cramps
- If someone is prone to infections
- Untreatable anaemia
- Swollen hands/feet
- Delayed growth/puberty in children
Sickling Test: Main Highlights
- Instructions: Fasting is not required
- Recommended age group: All age groups
- Sample type: Blood sample in EDTA tube
How to Interpret the Sickling Test Report
The result for a Sickling test is given as positive or negative for the presence of Haemoglobin S.
Diagnosis is confirmed with the help of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).
