What do the results mean?
If your results show that your haptoglobin levels are lower than normal, it may mean you have one of the following conditions:
Hemolytic anemia
Liver disease
Reaction to a transfusion
Your health care provider may order other blood tests to help make a diagnosis. These include:
Reticulocyte Count
Hemoglobin Test
Hematocrit Test
Lactate Dehydrogenase Test
Blood Smear
Complete Blood Count
These tests may be done at the same time or after your haptoglobin test.
If you have questions about your results, talk to your health care provider.
