What is the Blood Group & Rh Factor Test?
The Blood Group & Rh Factor Test determines an individual's blood type and Rh factor, which are crucial for safe blood transfusions, organ transplants, and pregnancy management. The test identifies the specific antigens present on the surface of red blood cells, which are categorized into blood groups and Rh factors.

Purpose of the Blood Group & Rh Factor Test:

1. Blood Transfusions:
   Identifies compatible blood types to prevent adverse reactions during transfusions.

2. Organ Transplants:
   Ensures compatibility between donor and recipient to minimize the risk of organ rejection.

3. Pregnancy Management:
   Determines Rh compatibility between mother and baby to manage conditions like hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN), which can occur if the Rh factor is incompatible.

4. Medical Record Keeping:
   Records blood type and Rh factor for future medical needs and emergencies.

Blood Types and Rh Factor:

1. Blood Groups:

   • A: Has A antigens on red blood cells and B antibodies in the plasma.
   • B: Has B antigens on red blood cells and A antibodies in the plasma.
   • AB: Has both A and B antigens on red blood cells and no A or B antibodies in the plasma (universal recipient).
   • O: Has no A or B antigens on red blood cells and has both A and B antibodies in the plasma (universal donor).

2. Rh Factor:

   • Rh-positive (Rh+): Has the Rh antigen on red blood cells.
   • Rh-negative (Rh-): Does not have the Rh antigen on red blood cells.

When is the Blood Group & Rh Factor Test Recommended?

• Pre-Transfusion Testing:
  To ensure compatibility before receiving a blood transfusion.

• Organ Transplantation:
  To match blood types and Rh factors between donor and recipient.

• Pregnancy:
  To determine Rh compatibility between mother and baby, especially if the mother is Rh-negative and the baby is Rh-positive.

• Medical Records:
  To keep a record of your blood type and Rh factor for future medical use.

Sample Type:
Blood sample (Blood).
