About this test

  • Preparation for medical emergencies or transfusions
  • Ensuring compatibility during blood donation or receiving blood
  • Important for pregnancy care (especially for Rh-negative individuals)
  • May influence risk factors for certain conditions (e.g. clotting, heart disease)
  • Helpful in organ donation or transplant matching
  • Can support personalised approaches to health and nutrition
  • Often required for travel, surgery, or fertility treatment
  • General awareness for health records and future care planning

Recommended for anyone who does not know their ABO and Rh blood group. Particularly useful for individuals preparing for surgery, pregnancy, or potential blood transfusion, as well as those registering as blood donors or updating medical records. Also helpful for anyone taking a proactive approach to emergency preparedness, travel, or personalised healthcare planning.

  • Transfusion reactions (due to incompatible blood types)
  • Haemolytic disease of the newborn (Rh incompatibility during pregnancy)
  • Organ transplant rejection (due to ABO mismatch)
  • Rh incompatibility complications in pregnancy
  • Emergency care challenges when blood type is unknown
  • Blood donation eligibility and matching
  • Potential links to clotting risk, heart disease, or certain cancers in research (varies by blood type)

Blood Analysis

Blood Type: This identifies specific antigens (A, B, AB, or O) and the Rh factor on red blood cells, which determine blood group compatibility for transfusions and pregnancy care.
