Haptoglobin primarily functions to inhibit oxidative damage induced by hemoglobin. Alterations in haptoglobin have been associated with the risk of diabetic vascular disorders such as retinopathy, nephropathy and cardiovascular diseases . Anti-Haptoglobin antibody is specific for haptoglobin in humans.
