The red cell membrane disorders are a group of genetic disorders. In Asian countries, limited studies have been conducted to determine the use of different methods to diagnose membranopathies. In the current review the usage and limitations of different diagnostic techniques used to diagnose membranopathies in Asian countries were evaluated. The results showed that different Asian countries have used different diagnostic criteria for the diagnosis. Further a single method could not diagnose all membranopathies. Therefore, a common work flow using a combination of conventional and advanced techniques could be used for the definitive diagnosis of membranopathies.
