    What is a Osmotic Fragility Test/Eosin 5 Maleimide (EMA) for Hereditary Spherocytosis Test?

    The Osmotic Fragility Test with Eosin 5 Maleimide (EMA) is a crucial diagnostic procedure for hereditary spherocytosis (HS), a genetic condition that leads to haemolytic anaemia. In HS, red blood cells (RBCs) lose their natural biconcave shape due to defects in membrane proteins, becoming more spherical. These altered cells are weaker and more likely to rupture, causing mild to moderate haemolysis. During the test, a fluorescent dye called Eosin 5 maleimide binds to specific proteins in the RBC membrane. In people with hereditary spherocytosis, the defective proteins result in reduced EMA binding, which increases the cells’ susceptibility to rupture when exposed to low saline concentrations. This heightened fragility helps confirm the presence of HS. HS symptoms can vary widely in severity, but most patients enjoy a good quality of life. Depending on the symptoms, treatment options may include folic acid supplementation, splenectomy, or blood transfusions. If you are in Noida, you can access the EMA test at your doorstep, anywhere in the city.
