Overview

The Blood Group ABO & Rh test identifies your blood type and Rh factor, which is essential for blood transfusions, donations, and assessing Rh incompatibility risks during pregnancy.

What is Blood Group (Slide Agglutination) Test ?

Blood group ABO & Rh test identifies your blood group & type of Rh factor. There are four major blood groups- A, B, AB, and O. It is important to know your blood group as you may need a transfusion of blood or blood components; you may want to donate your blood; before or during a woman's pregnancy to determine the risk of Rh mismatch with the fetus.

What is the Purpose of the Blood Group (Slide Agglutination) Test ?

When a person's blood is being classified for donation or before receiving a transfusion, blood typing is performed. After an injury or during surgery, blood typing is a quick and simple method to make sure you get an appropriate blood group. Agglutination, or blood clumping, can result from receiving incompatible blood and can be lethal. Blood typing is especially essential for pregnant women. 

If the mother is Rh-negative and the father is Rh-positive, the child will likely be Rh-positive. The mother in these situations needs to take a medication known as RhoGAM. When a mother's and baby's blood mixes, which frequently occurs during pregnancy, this medication will prevent the mother's body from producing antibodies that could harm the baby's blood cells.

When is a Blood Group (Slide Agglutination) Test Recommended ?

Blood Group (Slide Agglutination) Test is advised in following scenarios:
  • As pre-transfusion testing
  • Before organ transplantation to prevent organ rejection
  • To determine the Rh factor of pregnant women to manage Rh incompatibility and prevent hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN)
  • To promptly ascertain blood type in cases requiring an emergency blood transfusion.
  • Blood group testing may be performed as part of a pre-operative screening or routine check-up for general health assessments
  • To establish identity or provide evidence in legal cases

  • Unless otherwise directed by your doctor, there is no need for you to make any special preparations before the Blood Group (Slide Agglutination) Test

What is the Cost of Blood Group (Slide Agglutination) Test ?

The Price of a Blood Group (Slide Agglutination) Test is Rs. 50. However, cost of the test may fluctuate depending on following factors:
  • Other tests advised along with Blood Group (Slide Agglutination) Test
  • Offers or discounts
  • Empanelment of the patient

Components of Blood Group (Slide Agglutination) Test

  • ABO Blood Type: The presence or absence of antigens (A and B) on the surface of red blood cells determines the ABO blood type. A blood type has A antigens, B blood has B antigens, AB blood type has both A and B antigens, and type O blood has neither. Understanding potential genetic inheritance and ensuring safe blood transfusions and organ transplants depend on this classification.
  • Rh Blood Type: The Rh factor antigen's presence (Rh-positive) or absence (Rh-negative) on the surface of red blood cells determines the Rh blood type. Rh compatibility is crucial for managing the pregnancy in order to avoid Rh incompatibility problems, which may result in the newborn's haemolytic illness. Determining Rh status accurately aids in avoiding complications during prenatal care and transfusions.

Interpreting the Blood Group (Slide Agglutination) Test Results

  • ABO Blood Group: Positive agglutination with anti-A serum indicates type A, with anti-B serum indicates type B, with both indicates type AB, and with neither indicates type O.
  • Rh Factor: Positive agglutination with anti-D serum indicates Rh-positive, while negative agglutination indicates Rh-negative.
