About The Test
Test Overview
This blood type panel assesses your blood type using the ABO and RhD blood group systems. This information is crucial for blood transfusions, organ transplants, and can also have implications for pregnancy, as incompatibility between a mother’s and baby’s blood type can lead to certain health risks.
Symptoms
Symptoms or situations that may necessitate a blood type panel include:
- Blood transfusions
- Organ transplantation
- Pregnancy, especially if there is a risk of Rh incompatibility
- Certain medical procedures or surgeries
- Determining compatibility for bone marrow or stem cell donation
- Establishing blood type for general medical records
Test Includes
ABO and Rh (D) Type
The ABO blood group system classifies blood types according to the different types of antigens on the red blood cells and antibodies in the plasma. Blood banks use the ABO system alongside the RhD antigen status to determine which blood type or types will match for a safe red blood cell transfusion.
Recommended For
This test is recommended for anyone who wants to know their blood type. This information is critical for blood transfusions and certain conditions relating to pregnancy.
Associated Conditions
- Anemia
- Pregnancy
Understanding Results
Your blood type panel results reveal your blood type. These results are crucial for medical procedures like blood transfusions and organ transplants, as they determine the compatibility between your blood and that of a donor or recipient. Additionally, in certain situations like pregnancy, knowing your blood type is important to assess the risk of Rh incompatibility with the baby and to take appropriate measures if necessary. You should discuss any blood type concerns with your healthcare provider.
