Overview of the Heinz Bodies Test
The Heinz Bodies Test, also known as the Heinz Bodies Stain test, is a diagnostic procedure used to detect the presence of abnormal structures within red blood cells called Heinz bodies. Heinz bodies are composed of denatured haemoglobin. These bodies are formed when haemoglobin becomes denatured or oxidised, forming insoluble protein clumps. Sterling Accuris Diagnostics offers a reliable Heinz Bodies Test in Sanand with accurate results.

FAQs
How often should the Heinz bodies test be repeated for monitoring purposes?
The Heinz bodies test should be repeated regularly to monitor the condition effectively. The test frequency will depend on the specific situation and the healthcare professional's recommendations.
What distinguishes Heinz bodies from Howell-Jolly bodies?
Although both bodies are found on red blood cells, they are not the same. After RBCs mature in the bone marrow, they enter the circulation to deliver oxygen to the body. During this process, the nucleus is typically discarded. However, in certain cases, remnants of the nucleus may remain. These remnants are Howell-Jolly bodies and are removed by the spleen, often indicating that the spleen is not functioning properly. In some cases, they may also indicate the presence of megaloblastic anemia.
