This test tells you which blood group you have (A, B, AB, or O) and is useful for those who need a transfusion or want to give blood.
The blood group and antibody test determine your blood type. It detects certain proteins in your red blood cells, called antigens. In order to have a blood transfusion, the blood type of the donor must match that of the receiver. As a result, knowing your blood type allows you to safely donate blood or receive a blood transfusion or transplant.
The test also checks for the presence of Rh factor in your red blood cells, which is a subcategory of blood grouping particularly important to know in order to ensure a safe pregnancy.
Your blood type is usually hereditary, and is classified using the ABO system (your result will be Type A, Type B, Type AB, or Type O).
Blood Typing for Pregnancy
During pregnancy, blood typing is important. This is because it can help to ensure that the mother’s immune system will not react against the unborn baby. Therefore testing can prevent anaemia and jaundice in newborns.
