A member asked:
What type of test is for haptoglobin: blood chemistry or hematological?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chem lab: Despite the fact that haptoglobin (in those who have it) carries old hemoglobin and its level is a screen for hemolysis, testing is usually run in the chemistry lab. The test and its interpretation are tricky.
