About this test

Your blood group (A, B, AB, or O) doesn’t cause symptoms, but knowing it is critical for:

  • Safe blood transfusions
  • Emergency medical care
  • Pregnancy and birth planning
  • Organ or tissue donation
  • Preventing transfusion reactions
  • Understanding personal compatibility in clinical settings
  • Some people may never need this information—until it becomes urgently necessary

Recommended for anyone who does not know their ABO blood group. Especially important for individuals preparing for surgery, donating or receiving blood, planning a pregnancy, or building a personal medical record. Also useful for those who want to be prepared for emergencies where knowing your blood type can save time and guide urgent care decisions.

  • Preparation for blood transfusions or organ transplants
  • Emergency medical situations requiring rapid blood typing
  • Pregnancy care, especially when combined with Rh status
  • Surgical planning or trauma risk
  • Blood donation eligibility and matching
  • Personal or family medical history lacking documented blood type
  • Participation in clinical trials or donor registries
  • Genetic or ancestral interest in blood type distribution
