Know more about this test

Blood group testing is done to determine a person's blood group (A, B, AB, or O) and Rh type. The blood group of a person is predicted by the presence of a specific antigen marker on the surface of the red blood cells (RBCs). When antigen A is present, the person has A blood group, B antigen is present in the B blood group. Consequently, both antigens A and B are present in AB, and no antigen in the O blood group.
The test also determines the Rh (Rhesus) factor. People who have Rh antigen on their RBCs are Rh+ (positive), while those who do not are Rh- (negative). This test is necessary for safe blood transfusions and to determine the risk of Rh factor incompatibility during pregnancy.

What does Blood Grouping measure?

The blood grouping test is done to identify blood group of a person. The blood group of a person is denoted on the basis of certain specific antigen markers present on the surface of the red blood cells. These marker antigens are glycoproteins and help the body to recognize its own type of RBCs. According to ABO and Rh blood group systems, three types of antigen markers are commonly found on RBCs, namely A, B, and Rh, and the presence or absence of these antigen markers determine the blood type of a person. Thus, a person with antigen A belongs to blood group A, one with antigen B belongs to blood group B, those with both antigens A and B belong to group AB, while those without either antigen A or B belong to group O. Also, people who have Rh antigen on their RBCs are Rh+ (positive), while those who do not are Rh- (negative).

Antibodies are naturally created by the body against incompatible blood antigens. People with blood group A have anti-B antibodies against type B antigens and those with blood group B have anti-A antibodies against type A antigens. People with blood group AB do not have any of these antibodies, while those with blood group O have both anti-A and anti-B antibodies. Rh antibodies are produced by people of Rh-blood group upon exposure to Rh antigens in Rh+ blood type. Blood transfusion between incompatible blood types causes an antigen-antibody reaction which causes the RBCs to clump together and be destroyed. Hence blood groups of donor and recipient must match to ensure the success of the blood transfusion or organ transplant.

The antigen-antibody reaction between incompatible blood types forms the basis of the Blood Typing Test. The collected specimen is treated with collected or synthetic A, B, and Rh antibodies and observed for agglutination (clumping). If agglutination (clumping) of RBCs is seen upon treatment with anti-A antibodies, the sample is of blood type A. If agglutination is seen upon treatment with anti-B antibodies, the sample is of blood type B. If agglutination does not occur upon treatment with either anti-A or anti-B antibodies, the sample is of blood group O, and if agglutination occurs with both these antibodies, the sample is of blood group AB. The occurrence of agglutination upon treatment with Rh antibodies indicates Rh+ blood type, while no agglutination indicates Rh- blood type.

ABO Typing:

Sample	Anti-A	Anti-B	Blood Type
1	Agglutination	No agglutination	A
2	No agglutination	Agglutination	B
3	Agglutination	Agglutination	AB
4	No agglutination	No agglutination	O

Rh Typing:

Sample	Anti-Rh	Blood Type
1	Agglutination	Rh+
2	No agglutination	Rh-

FAQs related to Blood Grouping

Is there any preparation required before the test?

Inform the doctor about the medications you may be taking. No other specific preparations are usually required before this test.

Is there any risk associated with this test?

There is no risk associated with the test. However, since this test involves a needle prick to withdraw the blood sample, in very rare cases, a patient may experience increased bleeding, hematoma formation (blood collection under the skin), bruising or infection at the site of needle prick.

Are there other blood types apart from the ABO and Rh blood types?

Apart from the ABO and Rh blood groups, human blood has been classified into more than 200 blood types under different grouping systems. These are less commonly used and are called minor or rare blood groups. These are not detected by the blood grouping test but are detected only by an RBC screening test for different antigens.

Which blood groups are known as universal donors and recipients?

Individuals of blood type O Rh- are known as universal donors since they do not have antigens A, B, or Rh on their RBCs, which allows their blood to be transfused safely without any reaction from the recipient. Individuals with blood type AB Rh+ are called universal recipients since they recognize all A, B, and Rh antigens as self and do not produce antibodies against any of these, allowing them to safely receive all blood types without a harmful reaction

What is HDFN?

Hemolytic Disease of Fetus and Newborn or HDFN is a condition where the blood type of the fetus is incompatible with the blood type of the mother. The most severe reactions typically occur due to Rh incompatibility, where antibodies are produced in the Rh negative mother against Rh positive fetus. These antibodies cross the placenta and react with the RBC of the fetus, causing HDFN.
