What is the Blood Group Test?
Blood Group testing determines your ABO blood type (A, B, AB, or O) and Rh factor (positive or negative). Your blood group is genetically determined and never changes throughout your life. Knowing your blood group is essential for safe blood transfusions, during pregnancy (Rh compatibility), and for emergency medical situations.
Why Should You Take This Test?
Essential for safe blood transfusion. Rh-negative pregnant women need Rh immunoglobulin to prevent antibody formation.
Who Should Get Tested?
Everyone (At Least Once)
Every person should know their blood group for emergencies.
Pregnant Women
Rh-negative mothers need special care during pregnancy.
Pre-Surgery Patients
Blood group must be known before any surgical procedure.
Blood Donors
Required before donating blood.
