Thalassemia Profile
Price: ₹3500 ₹2700
“Thalassemia is a common hereditary blood disorder in India, particularly prevalent in West Bengal, where the body produces an abnormal form or inadequate amount of hemoglobin. Since many carriers show no outward symptoms, specialized screening is the only way to identify the condition.
At CC Saha Medicentre, our Thalassemia & Anemia profile is designed to move beyond basic blood counts. By combining cellular analysis with genetic hemoglobin mapping, we provide a definitive look at your blood health—helping you distinguish between simple iron deficiency and inherited traits that could impact your future and your family’s health.”

Package Preparation and likely Test Chronology
To ensure the highest accuracy of your reports at CC Saha MediCentre, please follow these standard protocols:
1. Fasting Requirements
No Strict Fasting: As per the clinical requirement for this specific panel, fasting is not mandatory.
Pro Tip: While not required, it is often recommended to avoid very fatty meals immediately before the test to ensure the serum sample is clear.
2. Test Chronology & Workflow
Registration: Quick walk-in or prior appointment at our Kolkata center.
Sample Collection: A single blood draw (venipuncture) is sufficient for all four tests.
Sample Handling: The blood is collected in specialized EDTA (for CBC/Electrophoresis) and Plain/Gel vials (for Iron studies) to maintain cellular integrity.
3. Additional Considerations
Supplements: If you are taking iron supplements or multivitamins, inform the technician. It is often advised to skip the dose on the morning of the test.
Hydration: Drink plenty of water before your visit; it makes the veins easier to locate and the blood draw smoother.
4. Test Reporting
Turnaround Time: Most components (CBC, Iron, Ferritin) are typically ready within 24 hours.
Hb Electrophoresis: Due to the specialized nature of the analysis, this may take 48–72 hours.
Delivery: Reports can be collected physically or accessed via our digital portal for your convenience.
