One-report verification checklist

Understand what to verify on a haemoglobin result

Record one reported result, the test method, date and confirmation status. The guide recognises only a narrow A/S/C notation set and prepares follow-up questions—it does not confirm a result or calculate inheritance.

  • One result at a time
  • No diagnosis
  • No inheritance calculation
  • Runs locally

Step 1 of 2

Record what the report actually says

Do not enter a name, laboratory number or other identifier. Keep the source report available for professional review.

Copy only the result notation. This guide recognises AA, AS, AC, SS, SC and CC forms; other notation is flagged for clarification, not guessed.
Used only to make the checklist traceable. It is not used to assess validity.

Different job, separate tool

Need to explore per-pregnancy inheritance?

This guide reviews one reported result only. Once two people each have a laboratory-confirmed result, use the separate Sickle Cell Inheritance Explorer for neutral per-pregnancy inheritance education. That tool still cannot predict one child or direct relationship or reproductive decisions.
