The Blood Group Test is a vital laboratory test that determines an individual's blood group (A, B, AB, or O) and Rh factor (positive or negative). Understanding your blood type is crucial for several medical situations, particularly in blood transfusions and prenatal care.

Key reasons to undergo the Blood Group Test include:

• Safe Blood Transfusions: Knowing your blood type is essential before any blood transfusion to prevent serious complications from incompatible blood.

• Pregnancy Monitoring: For expectant mothers, determining the blood group and Rh factor helps assess potential risks during pregnancy and delivery, such as Rh incompatibility between mother and baby.

• Organ Transplants: Accurate blood typing is necessary for organ transplantation to ensure compatibility between donors and recipients.

The test involves a simple blood draw. Typically results come back quickly but we advise that they can take up to 5 business days.
