12.1 INTRODUCT ION

Hemoglobin testing is the primary method of anemia diagnosis. The TDHS 2000 included direct measurement of hemoglobin levels in all women 15-49 and their children age 5 and under (born since January 1995). The HemoCue system was used in the TDHS 2000 for hemoglobin testing.

ESTIMATION OF Notes HEMOGLOBIN

The Hemoglobin molecule is a tetramer consisting of two pairs of similar polypeptide chains called globin chains. To each of the four chains is attached heme which is a complex of iron in ferrous form and protoporphyrin. The major (96%) type of hemoglobin present in …

Glycated Hemoglobin/Glycated Protein - Quest Diagnostics

Hemoglobin A1c refers to the major component of hemoglobin A1, usually determined by ion-exchange affinity chromatography, immunoassay or agar gel electrophoresis. Fructosamine or glycated protein refers to glycosylated protein present in a serum or plasma sample. Glycated protein refers to measurement of the component of the specific

Hemoglobinopathies: Sickle Cell Disease (HbSS, HbSC or HbS ...

Hemoglobin, the substance that carries the oxygen in the blood, is made up of building blocks called ß-globin chains and ß-globin chains. A specific defect in the ß-globin component causes the physical structure of hemoglobin associated with HbS. Another specific defect in ß-globin causes another structural variant, hemoglobin C (HbC).

HbA1c (Hemoglobin A1c) - Beckman Coulter

Total Hemoglobin is measured via the conversion of all hemoglobin derivatives into alkaline hematin in the alkaline solution of a non-ionic detergent. Addition of the pre-treated blood sample to the Total Hemoglobin reagent results in a green solution, which is measured at 600nm. HbA1c is measured in a latex agglutination inhibition assay.
