A blood group test (ABO/Rh typing) determines your blood type (A, B, AB, or O) and Rhesus factor (positive/negative) by analyzing a blood sample, usually from a vein in the arm. It is crucial for safe blood transfusions, pregnancy, and organ transplants, often performed at laboratories or clinics. nhs.uk nhs.uk +3 Key Details About Blood Group Testing: Purpose: Identifies antigens on red blood cells (A, B, Rh) to ensure compatibility for transfusions and pregnancy monitoring. How it Works: A lab technician mixes your blood with anti-A and anti-B antibodies. If the cells stick together (agglutination), it indicates the presence of that antigen. Results: A+: Clumping with Anti-A & Anti-D. B+: Clumping with Anti-B & Anti-D. AB+: Clumping with Anti-A, Anti-B & Anti-D. O+: Clumping with Anti-D only. Negative Types: No clumping in the anti-D (Rh) circle. Procedure: No fasting is required. A, B, O, or AB is determined, along with whether you are Rh positive or negative. Where to Get Tested: Hospitals, clinics, labs, or by donating blood.

Pregnancy: Checks for Rh incompatibility between mother and fetus. Donation/Transplant: Ensures compatibility for organ or stem cell transplants. nhs.uk nhs.uk +2 Common Blood Group Types: ABO Groups: Type O is common, while AB is the least common.
