Quick answer
The sickle cell screening test examines a blood sample for hemoglobin S, an abnormal form of hemoglobin that can cause red blood cells to become rigid and sickle-shaped. The test helps identify people with sickle cell trait and those with sickle cell disease. It is often part of newborn screening and may also be ordered for older children and adults. A healthcare provider interprets the result and can arrange follow-up testing.
What this test measures
Hemoglobin carries oxygen in red blood cells. In sickle cell disease, a mutation produces hemoglobin S, which can make red blood cells stiff and crescent-shaped under low-oxygen conditions. These cells can block blood flow and break down early, leading to anemia and episodes of pain. The screening test detects the presence of hemoglobin S but does not by itself distinguish between trait and disease.
Screening is typically done with a blood sample. Initial methods may include solubility or other rapid techniques, and abnormal screening results are confirmed with a more definitive method such as hemoglobin electrophoresis or high-performance liquid chromatography. These follow-up methods identify the exact hemoglobin pattern, which separates sickle cell trait from the disease.
Newborn screening programs test for sickle cell disease so that care can begin early. Older children and adults may be tested when symptoms suggest the condition, when there is a family history, or when someone wants to know their carrier status before having children. Genetic counseling and a qualified healthcare provider can explain the implications of the result.
