High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)/RBC Solubility
Performed
Days of the week the test is performed.
Sun-Sat
Reported
Expected turnaround time for a result, beginning when ARUP has received the specimen.
1-4 days
Reference Interval
Normal range/expected value(s) for a specific disease state. May also include abnormal ranges.
Negative
Interpretive Data
May include disease information, patient result explanation, recommendations, or details of testing.
Negative: Negative for Hemoglobin S by HPLC. Solubility testing not performed. Positive: Positive for Hemoglobin S by HPLC and confirmed by solubility testing. Additional charges apply. Conf Previous: Positive for Hemoglobin S by HPLC. Solubility testing performed previously and not repeated with this submission.
This test does not differentiate hemoglobin S trait from homozygous sickle cell disease or other possible combinations such as: S/C, S/D, S/G, S/E, S/thalassemia, S/O-Arab, S/New York and C-Georgetown trait (Hb C-Harlem). For further clarification, Hemoglobin Evaluation with Reflex to Electrophoresis and/or RBC Solubility (ARUP test code 3017101) is recommended.
Compliance Category
FDA
Note
Additional information related to the test.
If HPLC detects a peak which suggests Hgb S, then RBC Solubility will be added for confirmation. Additional charges apply.
