Our blood contains a protein called ‘Hemoglobin’ or Hgb. Hemoglobin present in the blood is responsible for carrying oxygen and delivering it to various body organs.Hemoglobin electrophoresis test is designed to identify and measure different types of Hemoglobin that can be found in one’s blood. Mutations in the hemoglobin can cause the body to produce faulty or abnormal hemoglobin. The faulty or abnormal hemoglobin is unable to carry oxygen at normal levels. This can lead to decreased levels of oxygen reaching the tissues and organs of the body.

CBC Test is done to detect health disorders ranging from different types of anemia, infections, fever, inflammation and cancers. If you have any kind of infection then you will see an increase in your White Blood Cells or WBC count. Similarly a very common type of fever known as Dengue Fever will show a reduced number of platelets.
CBC Test can be done on 3 part, 5 part or 6 part hemoanalyzers. The 6 part hemoanalyzer is used to do CBC test at Maurya Labs. This machine gives additional information about the types of WBC present in the blood which helps the doctor to make accurate diagnosis of the disease.
