HelpTest Code THEV0 Thalassemia Summary Interpretation, Blood
Useful For
Incorporating and summarizing subsequent molecular results into an overall interpretation for the THEV1 / Thalassemia and Hemoglobinopathy Evaluation, Blood and Serum
Testing Algorithm
When 1 or more molecular tests are added to the THEV1 / Thalassemia and Hemoglobinopathy Evaluation, Blood and Serum, then this test is also added as consultative interpretation that summarizes the testing performed as well as any pertinent clinical information. This summary is in addition to interpretations that may be provided for each component. This will be provided after additional testing is complete in order to incorporate subsequent results into an overall evaluation.
