  2. Blood compatibility testing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_compatibility_testing

    Blood compatibility testing is routinely performed before a blood transfusion.The full compatibility testing process involves ABO and RhD (Rh factor) typing; screening for antibodies against other blood group systems; and crossmatching, which involves testing the recipient's blood plasma against the donor's red blood cells as a final check for incompatibility.

  3. Blood type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_type

    Blood type (or blood group) is determined, in part, by the ABO blood group antigens present on red blood cells. A blood type (also known as a blood group) is a classification of blood, based on the presence and absence of antibodies and inherited antigenic substances on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs).

  4. ABO blood group system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABO_blood_group_system

    ABO blood group system. ABO blood group antigens present on red blood cells and IgM antibodies present in the serum. The ABO blood group system is used to denote the presence of one, both, or neither of the A and B antigens on erythrocytes (red blood cells). [1] For human blood transfusions, it is the most important of the 44 different blood ...

  5. Cross-matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-matching

    Cross-matching or crossmatching is a test performed before a blood transfusion as part of blood compatibility testing. Normally, this involves adding the recipient's blood plasma to a sample of the donor's red blood cells. If the blood is incompatible, the antibodies in the recipient's plasma will bind to antigens on the donor red blood cells.

  6. Human blood group systems - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_blood_group_systems

    The term human blood group systems is defined by the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT) as systems in the human species where cell-surface antigens—in particular, those on blood cells—are "controlled at a single gene locus or by two or more very closely linked homologous genes with little or no observable recombination between them", [1] and include the common ABO and Rh ...

  7. Blood transfusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_transfusion

    Blood transfusion is the process of transferring blood products into a person's circulation intravenously. [1] Transfusions are used for various medical conditions to replace lost components of the blood. Early transfusions used whole blood, but modern medical practice commonly uses only components of the blood, such as red blood cells, plasma ...

  8. ABO-incompatible transplantation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABO-incompatible...

    ABO-incompatible (ABOi) transplantation is a method of allocation in organ transplantation that permits more efficient use of available organs regardless of ABO blood type, which would otherwise be unavailable due to hyperacute rejection. [ 1][ 2] Primarily in use in infants and young toddlers, research is ongoing to allow for increased use of ...
