    What is a Sickling Test Test?

    The Sickling test is an important diagnostic tool used to detect sickle cell disease (SCD), a genetic disorder that affects the shape and function of red blood cells. In individuals with SCD, a genetic mutation leads to the formation of an abnormal type of hemoglobin, known as sickle hemoglobin (HbS). This causes the red blood cells to become crescent or "sickle" shaped, which can block blood vessels and lead to pain and other health issues. The Sickling test uses a simple and cost-effective method to identify the presence of HbS by making it insoluble and comparing the results to normal controls. Although the test is reliable and easy to perform, it has some limitations, including reduced accuracy in newborns and people with specific co-inherited conditions. It also cannot tell whether a person has sickle cell trait (SCT) or full sickle cell disease (SCD). If you live in Mumbai, you can easily schedule a Sickling test to check for sickle cell disease from the convenience of your home.
