Diagnosis of Sickle Cell Disease
1. Blood Smear
• Typical sickled cells not evident on blood
smears of all patients, especially not on
smears of young children and others with
high Hb F.
• May be helpful when other diagnostic tests
are not available

2, 3. “Sickling” Tests for Hb S
• Of no use as a primary screening tests
• Positive = Presence of Hb S
• Does not distinguish sickle cell trait (AS)
from types of SCD
• Can help distinguish Hb S from other
hemoglobins with similar electrophoretic
migration or chromatographic retention
patterns.
• Negative in newborns, infants and
others with high levels of Hb F; negative
for Hb C
• In emergency, may help raise suspicion
of SCD

4. Complete blood count
(with reticulocyte count)
• Never diagnostic by itself
Diagnosis of Sickle Cell Disease
• Degree of anemia and reticulocytosis helps define types
of SCD when other methods are not specific.
Note: SCD variants such as SCD-SC, SCD-Sb+ thal,
and SCD-S(db)o thal may have mild or no anemia.
• Mean Cell Volume (MCV) and Mean Cell Hemoglobin
(MCH), when low suggest presence of thalassemia -
alpha and/or beta.

5. Hemoglobin Separation Methods Most common tests used in clinical laboratories
a. Hemoglobin Electrophoresis
Cellulose acetate at alkali pH (manual)
Citrate agar gel at acid pH (manual)
Capillary electrophoresis (automated, quantitative)
b. Isoelectric focusing (IEF) (manual)
c. Chromatography
High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)
(automated, quantitative)
There are > 1,100 variants of the 3 normal hemoglobins, A, A2, and F;
they cannot all be separated by any of these methods
