The Blood Type test determines your classification within the ABO and Rh blood group systems—two key factors that play a vital role in transfusion safety, pregnancy health, and immune system interactions. The ABO Group identifies whether your blood type is A, B, AB, or O based on specific antigens on your red blood cells. The Rh Type reveals whether you are Rh-positive or Rh-negative, a detail that becomes especially important during pregnancy or if a transfusion is needed.
Knowing your blood type is crucial for avoiding life-threatening reactions during blood transfusions and organ transplants. It’s also important in prenatal care, as Rh incompatibility between a mother and fetus can lead to complications without proper management. Beyond medical procedures, blood type can also influence how your immune system responds to infections and even your susceptibility to certain conditions, making this simple test a foundational part of your health profile.
