Service Description

A blood group test, also known as a blood typing test, determines your blood type based on the presence or absence of specific antigens on the surface of your red blood cells. This test is essential for blood transfusions, organ transplants, and determining paternity, among other medical applications. ### **Blood Group Test Details** #### **1. Purpose:** - **Determine Blood Type**: Identifies your ABO blood group (A, B, AB, O) and Rh factor (positive or negative). - **Blood Transfusions**: Ensures compatibility for safe transfusions by matching donor and recipient blood types. - **Organ Transplants**: Helps match organ donors with recipients to avoid rejection. - **Pregnancy**: Determines Rh factor to assess potential risks such as hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) if the mother and baby have incompatible Rh factors. #### **2. Preparation:** - **No Special Preparation Needed**: Typically, no fasting or special preparation is required. However, follow any specific instructions given by your healthcare provider. #### **3. Procedure:** - **Blood Sample**: A healthcare professional will draw a small amount of blood, usually from a vein in your arm. - **Testing**: The blood sample is mixed with specific antibodies in a laboratory. The reaction determines the presence or absence of A, B, and Rh antigens, revealing your blood type. #### **4. Blood Group Classification:** - **ABO Blood Group System**: - **Type A**: Has A antigens on red blood cells and B antibodies in the plasma. - **Type B**: Has B antigens on red blood cells and A antibodies in the plasma. - **Type AB**: Has both A and B antigens on red blood cells and no A or B antibodies in the plasma (universal recipient). - **Type O**: Has no A or B antigens on red blood cells and both A and B antibodies in the plasma (universal donor). - **Rh Factor**: - **Rh-Positive (Rh+)**: Has the Rh antigen on red blood cells. - **Rh-Negative (Rh-)**: Lacks the Rh antigen on red blood cells. #### **5. Interpreting Results:** - **Blood Type**: Results will be expressed as a combination of ABO and Rh factors (e.g., A+, B-, AB+, O-). - **Compatibility**: For transfusions, blood must be compatible with the recipient's blood type to avoid adverse reactions. For example, a person with Type O- blood is a universal donor, while a person with AB+ blood is a universal recipient.
