Lesley Van Wyk: Laboratory Diagnosis of Thalassemia

Lesley Van Wyk, Laboratory Manager at National Health Laboratory Service, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Laboratory Diagnosis of Thalassemia

Laboratory Diagnosis of Thalassemia is diagnosed using a combination of CBC, peripheral blood smear, iron studies, hemoglobin analysis, and molecular testing.

A pattern of microcytic hypochromic anemia with a normal or increased RBC count, normal iron studies, and HbA₂ greater than 3.5% strongly suggests β-thalassemia trait.

Save this guide for quick laboratory reference.”
