ABO and Rh (Blood typing)

About This Test
Identifies your ABO blood group (A, B, AB, or O) and Rh type (positive or negative). These markers determine who you can safely receive or donate blood to and are essential for safe transfusions and surgery. In pregnancy, Rh typing helps prevent Rh incompatibility between mother and baby. This test is commonly included in routine medical and prenatal check-ups to support safe care.
