Using Hemoglobin Spectra as an Indicator for Some Blood Diseases

Different blood diseases that affect hemoglobin will show a change in its spectrum. this paper describes the possibility of using hemoglobin spectrum as a possible indicator for some known human blood diseases as a response to a change in blood environment. since these spectra might be used as a quick diagnostic tools to detect any changes in the blood environment, the spectra of blood samples were studied for best storage times and temperatures, and it is found that the spectra are not affected by storage time or temperature. the only parameter in hemoglobin spectrum, soret band, from human blood diseases subjects showed distinguished characteristic values for each blood disease when compared to the same parameter obtained from the spectra of healthy individuals of the same age groups for both gender.
