The Purpose of Blood Type Testing

Blood type testing provides essential information that’s used in many medical situations. Blood types are divided into three groups–A, B, and O–based on the antigens, or proteins, in red blood cells. Additionally, blood is categorized by whether it has a Rhesus, or Rh, factor, which refers to a substance on the surface of red blood cells. Blood is either Rh positive or Rh negative. So someone who is A negative has type A blood without an Rh factor.

A test for blood type is common and can be used for:

  • Blood transfusions
  • Detecting Rh immune globulin candidacy for prenatal and postpartum individuals as well as potential ABO hemolytic disease in newborns
  • Special blood type-based diets
