Crossmatching mimics transfusion by mixing recipient serum & donor cells. Clumping (agglutination) indicates incompatibility, preventing transfusion reactions.
Transfusion Medicine
Indirect Antiglobulin (Coombs) Test (IAT)
Unmask hidden blood threats! IAT protocol detects antibodies in serum, ensuring safe transfusions & diagnosing immune disorders.
Direct Antiglobulin (Coombs) Test (DAT)
To detect the presence of antibodies or complement proteins bound to red blood cells (RBCs) in vivo, indicating potential immune-mediated hemolysis.
Serologic Crossmatching
Crossmatching mimics transfusion by mixing recipient serum & donor cells. Clumping (agglutination) indicates incompatibility, preventing transfusion reactions.
Indirect Antiglobulin (Coombs) Test (IAT)
Unmask hidden blood threats! IAT protocol detects antibodies in serum, ensuring safe transfusions & diagnosing immune disorders.
ABO RhD Blood Grouping Tube Method
The ABO RhD Blood Grouping Tube Method is a serological technique used to determine an individual’s blood type by mixing blood serum and red blood cells with antisera and observing for agglutination.
Rh Phenotyping using Tube Method
Unraveling the Rh code! Mix blood with anti-sera in tubes. Incubate, centrifuge, & observe. Clumping reveals antigen presence, guiding safe transfusions.
ABO RhD Blood Grouping Tube Method
The ABO RhD Blood Grouping Tube Method is a serological technique used to determine an individual’s blood type by mixing blood serum and red blood cells with antisera and observing for agglutination.
ABO blood group system
The ABO blood group system is a classification of human blood based on the presence or absence of A and B antigens on red blood cells.
Components of Donated Blood Products
Many different blood components can be derived from donated blood. These components have different functions for different indications. This article gives an overview of the function of the different blood components available.
Acute Hemolytic Transfusion Reaction (ATHR)
Acute hemolytic transfusion reaction (AHTR) is a rare but life-threatening complication of blood transfusion that occurs when the recipient’s immune system attacks the transfused blood cells and destroyed them.
Hemolytic fetal disease of the newborn (HDN)
Hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) is a condition in which a newborn baby’s red blood cells are destroyed. It is caused by incompatibility between the baby’s and mother’s blood types. HDN is preventable and treatable.
