High-performance liquid chromatography local reference ranges of hemoglobin fractions (HbA, HbA2, and HbF) in detection of hemoglobinopathies in western Kenya by Benard Mutua, Rose Chelangat, Barasa Mustafa, Tom Were, Julie Makani, George Sowayi, Patrick Okoth

“…The commonly used normal reference ranges for the hemoglobin fractions were as follows: HbA 95–98%, had an accuracy of 57.5%, HbA2 of 1.5–3.5%, had an accuracy of 95.9% in grading the presumed healthy population as hemoglobinopathy-free, while HbF 0–2.0 was equal to that established by the present study. Conclusion It is important to report that the use of normal range for HbA of 95–98% published by Kratz et al. [1] in western Kenya has a potential threat of misdiagnosis of normal population and thus needs urgent review as it lacked efficacy (p = 0.795) in grading hemoglobinopathy-free subjects as normal with a poor accuracy of 57.5%, a sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 0.3%, positive predictive validity of 15.1%, negative predictive validity of 1%, and 1.03 positive likelihood ratio. …”
