Summary

The lab analyst measures the haptoglobin level, typically in a serum sample. This hemoglobin–binding glycoprotein binds with free hemoglobin present in the blood, which then travels to the liver for reuse. Clinicians use testing to evaluate anemia or other indicators of hemolysis, as well as other conditions.
