What is Haptoglobin?

Haptoglobin is a protein in your blood that binds to free hemoglobin released from red blood cells. This test measures the level of haptoglobin, which typically decreases when red blood cells are being destroyed faster than usual.

Why is this test important?

Low haptoglobin levels are a key indicator of hemolytic anemia, a condition where red blood cells are prematurely destroyed. It helps diagnose and monitor the severity of hemolytic conditions and other related disorders.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
