Abstract

Measurement of the Haemoglobin F in red cell haemolysates is important in the diagnosis of d beta thalassaemia, hereditary persistence of fetal haemoglobin (HPFH) and in the diagnosis and management of sickle cell disease. The distribution of Hb F in red cells is useful in the diagnosis of HPFH and in the assessment of feto-maternal haemorrhage. The methods of quantifying Hb F are described together with pitfalls in undertaking these laboratory tests with particular emphasis on automated high-performance liquid chromatography and capillary electrophoresis.
