What Is a Blood Group Test?

A blood group test identifies your blood type, which is based on specific antigens present on red blood cells.

The two most important systems are:

1. ABO system
2. Rh (Rhesus) factor
    

Blood Group Types

ABO Blood Groups

Rh Factor

• Rh-positive (Rh⁺) → D antigen present
• Rh-negative (Rh⁻) → D antigen absent

Example blood types:

• A⁺, A⁻
• B⁺, B⁻
• AB⁺, AB⁻
• O⁺, O⁻
   

Why Is Blood Group Testing Important?

• Blood transfusions
• Pregnancy care (especially Rh incompatibility)
• Organ transplantation
• Emergency situations
• Before surgery
• Blood donation
   

Rh Factor & Pregnancy

• If the mother is Rh-negative and the baby is Rh-positive, it can cause Rh incompatibility.
• This is prevented with Anti-D injections during and after pregnancy.

Blood typing is used to determine an individual's blood group and what type of blood or blood components the person can safely receive. This is important to ensure that there is compatibility between anyone who requires a transfusion of blood or blood components and the ABO and RhD type of the unit of blood that will be transfused.

NHS GPs do not routinely check people's blood groups.

You can also find out your blood group by giving blood.

If you're pregnant it's also important to know if you are rhesus negative or positive.
