Asking for Self, Male, 32 years old, KARAK
DR SAHB RECENTLY I HAVE DONE HB ELECTROPHORESIS TEST (PRE MARRIAGE TEST) THE RESULT OF MY PARTNER ARE NORMAL BUT MY RESULT ARE (HB A=95.1% & HB A=4.9%) AND THE COMMENT OF THE LAB TECH IS "genetic profile is recommended for further work up to rule out the possibility of beta thalassemia trait" WHAT DOES THIS STATEMENT MEANS. TEST REPORT IS ATTACHED
The quantity of HB A is more than normal . so you have been advised a more advance test for confirmation. but if your partner is normal, no need to worry and you can skip the test
Yes. You need further testi'g. You may be carrier of thelassemia so you get your genetic testing done. If you turn out to ba carrier, your Hb may drp below normal levels sometimes for which you can take oral iron. After marriae, your husband and contacts are not at risk but 50percent of your offspring may be carriers only in case you turn out to be positive. So go ahead with your next step in life without worries
consult haematologist...thalassemia is blood disorder runing in families
