- Newly diagnosed patients with a family history of HS, typical clinical features and laboratory investigations (spherocytes, raised mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentration [MCHC], increase in reticulocytes) do not require any additional tests (grade 1 recommendation, grade A evidence).
- If the diagnosis is equivocal, a screening test with high predictive value for HS is helpful. The recommended screening tests are the cryohaemolysis test and EMA binding (grade 1 recommendation, grade A evidence). (Confirmation).
- Gel electrophoresis analysis of erythrocyte membranes is the method of choice for diagnosis of atypical cases."Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of hereditary spherocytosis – 2011 update - Bolton‐Maggs - 2012 - British Journal of Haematology - Wiley Online Library".
