| | Lab Tests For Anemias |
 | | When the blood of a person with sickle-cell anemia is analyzed next to that of a normal individual, the hemoglobins are seen to migrate to different locations. | | | Blood samples are analyzed to see what kinds of hemoglobin the infant is producing. | | | If the test comes out positive, a second test can be done to indicate whether the person has the disease or the trait. |

| | A laboratory should select the approach that is appropriate for its clinical setting and available technology. | | | Since hematology analyzers measure mean cell volume, RBC, and Hb, and determine hematocrit, mean cell hemoglobin, and mean cell hemoglobin concentration, an inaccurate Hb affects the hematology result and those derived from it. | | | One hospital spins a hematocrit and then manually replaces all hemoglobin parameters, such as hemoglobin, mean corpuscular hemoglobin, and mean corpuscular hemoglobin count, with asterisks so those results are unavailable. |
