Background: Inherited abnormalities of hemoglobin synthesis include a varieties of disorders. Identification of these disorders is immensely important epidemiologically and aid in prevention of more serious hemoglobin disorders.
Aims: High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) forms an important tool for accurate diagnosis of various hemoglobin disorders. Early detection yields in better prognosis. About 150 cases have been studied for various hemoglobin disorders found in our region.
Material and Methods: The study was conducted in a retrospective manner and various findings like hemoglobin's and patients symptoms were noted. HPLC helps in better diagnosis.
Results and Conclusion:
Abnormal hemoglobin fractions on HPLC were seen in 31 of the 150 cases
studied. Of this, the beta thalassemia trait was the predominant abnormality
with a total of 14 cases (9.33%). There were 1(0.66%) cases of beta thalassemia
major. Sickle cell trait, sickle cell disease with one case of alpha chain variant were found. Detection of this abnormal hemoglobin, particularly keeping in mind a high prevalence of Hb A2, will help in prevention of more serious hemoglobinopathies including beta thalassemia major. Premarriage counselling and use of HPLC helps in early detection and management of various hemoglobin disorders.
