Ranges

Each lab publishes a reference range for the population groups it tests, usually the middle 95% of results. These intervals describe that population, not an optimal or healthy target. How ranges differ

  • Hemoglobinopathy Fractionation Cascade With Reflex to α-Thalassemia 121363

    15 analytes · Serum · Fasting not stated · Turnaround 4 - 8 days

    Method and collection
    Method
    CBC : Automated cell counter; ferritin : electrochemiluminescence immunoassay (ECLIA); hemoglobin fractionation cascade : capillary electrophoresis (CE), high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC); hemoglobin solubility : sodium hydrosulfite reduction If reflexed to a-thalassemia DNA test : polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification (MLPA) Alpha-globin variants included in the analysis are the Constant Spring non-deletion variant and the following deletions: -alpha3.7, -alpha4.2, --alpha20.5, --SEA, --FIL, --THAI, --MED, and the HS-40 regulatory region
    Collection
    Lavender-top (EDTA) tubes should be filled to capacity and inverted 8 to 10 times immediately after tube is filled, at the time of collection. If a red-top tube is used for serum, transfer separated serum to a plastic transport tube.

We compile this page from named laboratory catalogs, guidelines and studies. Labs calculate reference intervals from the people they test, for one assay method and one population group, so an interval describes that population rather than an optimal target.
