Description
A haptoglobin test is most commonly used to diagnose hemolytic anaemia, a disorder in which red blood cells are destroyed faster than they can be replaced. This test can also be utilised to determine if another type of anaemia or a different blood disorder is responsible for causing your symptoms.
Haptoglobin is a liver-produced protein that connects to haemoglobin. This binding facilitates the removal of haemoglobin from the blood. A haptoglobin test measures the level of this protein in the blood. Haptoglobin, which is produced by the liver, binds specifically to a type of haemoglobin.
Haemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells, is responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to other parts of the body. While small amounts of haemoglobin circulate in the bloodstream, most of it is contained within red blood cells. In the bloodstream, haemoglobin forms a complex with haptoglobin, which the liver then quickly eliminates from the body.
When red blood cells are destroyed, more haemoglobin is released into the bloodstream. Consequently, the body removes more of the haptoglobin-haemoglobin complex. If haptoglobin is lost faster than the liver can produce it, blood levels of haptoglobin will decrease. Low haptoglobin levels may indicate the presence of a red blood cell condition such as anaemia.
