Understanding Blood Group ABO & RH Factor Test

The Blood Group ABO & RH Factor Test helps determine the ABO blood grouping. The ABO system of blood grouping classifies blood into four main groups: A, B, AB, and O, based on the presence or absence of specific antigens on red blood cells. Individuals with blood type A have A antigens, those with blood type B have B antigens, individuals with blood type AB have both A and B antigens and individuals with blood type O have neither A nor B antigens. Identifying the blood type is essential for matching donors and recipients, ensuring compatibility for blood transfusions and organ transplants.

The Blood Group ABO & RH Factor Test also determines the Rhesus (Rh) factor, which may be positive (+) or negative (-) based on the presence or absence of the Rh antigen, respectively. Rh factor compatibility is critical during pregnancy to prevent Rh incompatibility issues between a mother and her fetus. Rh-negative mothers carrying Rh-positive babies may require special medical care to avoid complications like hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN).
