What does this test HAM Test (Acidified Lysis Test) identify?

The HAM Test (Acidified Lysis Test) is a laboratory test used to identify the presence of paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH). PNH is a rare acquired genetic disorder that results in the abnormal breakdown of red blood cells, leading to symptoms such as hemolytic anemia, thrombosis, and bone marrow failure.

In the Acidified Lysis Test, patient blood cells are mixed with a solution that contains acidified serum. The acidified serum is capable of lysing (bursting) normal red blood cells, but not red blood cells from individuals with PNH. If PNH cells are present, they will remain intact while normal cells will be lysed. This will result in a characteristic pattern of red and white blood cells when examined under a microscope.

Why is this test HAM Test (Acidified Lysis Test) taken?

Why is the HAM Test (Acidified Lysis Test) taken?

The HAM test, also known as the Acidified Lysis Test, is a laboratory test used to diagnose certain types of red blood cell disorders, particularly hereditary spherocytosis. This condition is characterized by abnormally shaped red blood cells that are more prone to being destroyed by the body's immune system.

The HAM test works by exposing a sample of the patient's red blood cells to a low pH solution, which causes the cells to lyse or break apart. In individuals with hereditary spherocytosis, the red blood cells will lyse more readily than in individuals without the condition.

By performing the HAM test, healthcare providers can confirm a diagnosis of hereditary spherocytosis and determine the severity of the condition. This information can help guide treatment decisions and monitor the effectiveness of interventions.
