Sickle cells in Blood by Light microscopy – INLAB

The sickle cells in blood by light microscopy test involves examining a blood smear under a microscope to identify the presence of sickle-shaped red blood cells. This test is used to diagnose sickle cell disease and sickle cell trait, genetic disorders affecting hemoglobin structure and function. A positive result indicates the presence of sickle-shaped cells, suggesting sickle cell disease or trait. The test provides valuable information for diagnosing and managing sickle cell disorders, guiding treatment decisions, and preventing complications associated with abnormal hemoglobin. It helps ensure early intervention and improve patient outcomes.
