You doubt the SCD if the hemoglobin level is low and the number of reticulocytes is high. This indicates that hemolysis occurs. Then you need to make a blood smear and if you identify sickle-shaped cells under a microscope all you have to do is to perform  hemoglobin electrophoresis test to confirm types of abnormal hemoglobin form present.
