Sickle cell test

The sickle cell test is a laboratory blood test performed on a small sample collected at home by a trained phlebotomist and analysed in certified UAE labs (commonly using methods such as HPLC or hemoglobin electrophoresis) to detect sickle haemoglobin (HbS) and distinguish between sickle cell trait and sickle cell disease. Early and accurate identification is important for newborn screening, prompt management of anaemia or vaso‑occlusive events, infection prevention strategies and informed family planning. This at‑home service is suitable for infants, individuals with a family history or symptoms suggestive of sickle cell disease, and couples seeking carrier screening in Dubai, with secure reporting and recommendation for specialist follow‑up when needed.
