Yes, it is to check for thalassemia carrier status. Very common test nowadays.

I was reading about this too, apparently doctors check this to make sure baby doesn't get any blood-related issues from parents. It's safe to get it done.

Yami Anand · Answer

My parents insisted I get all tests done on time. This HPLC test is standard now to check for thalassemia traits so that baby stays safe.

With twins, I had a mountain of test reports! HPLC is just to make sure there are no blood disorders passed to the baby, just get it done, standard procedure.

It's just a routine blood test to screen for thalassemia or any hemoglobin traits, nothing to worry about. Takes hardly 10 minutes, get it done quickly so you can tick it off your list.
