The Sickling Screening Test is a blood test used to detect abnormal hemoglobin (hemoglobin S), which is responsible for sickle cell disease. In this condition, red blood cells can become rigid and sickle-shaped, leading to blockage of blood flow and various complications.
This test is commonly used as an initial screening tool to identify individuals who may have sickle cell disease or carry the sickle cell trait. A positive result usually requires confirmation with more specific tests such as hemoglobin electrophoresis.
