Other Diagnostic Studies

Other diagnostic studies for sideroblastic anemia include:

• Urine porphyrin profile may demonstrates
  • Erythropoietic porphyria
  • Patients with ALAS2 defects have both low/normal levels,
  • Patients with ABCB7 defects have increased protoporphyrin.
• Serum lead levels,
  • It is increased in sideroblastic anemia secondry to lead toxicity.

• Genetic testing in congenital sideroblasticemias,
• genetic testing is the most definitive means of establishing the specific diagnosis and characterizing the mutation. Genetic testing is performed by DNA sequence analysis using leukocytes from peripheral blood
