  2. Coombs test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coombs_test

    Coombs reagent (also known as Coombs antiglobulin or antihuman globulin) is used in both the direct Coombs test and the indirect Coombs test. Coombs reagent is antihuman globulin . It is made by injecting human globulin into animals, which produce polyclonal antibodies specific for human immunoglobulins and human complement system factors.

    This test is run from cord blood. [1] In some cases, the direct coombs will be negative but severe, even fatal HDN can occur. [12] An indirect coombs needs to be run in cases of anti-C, [13] anti-c, [13] and anti-M. Anti-M also recommends antigen testing to rule out the presence of HDN. [26] Hgb - the infant's hemoglobin should be tested from ...

    Newborn infant with Rhesus disease, a type of hemolytic disease of the newborn, suffering from hydrops fetalis (edema caused by heart failure). The infant did not survive. [4] Signs of hemolytic disease of the newborn include a positive direct Coombs test (also called direct agglutination test), elevated cord bilirubin levels, and hemolytic anemia.

    Mothers who are negative for the Kell 1 antigen develop antibodies after being exposed to red blood cells that are positive for Kell 1.Over half of the cases of hemolytic disease of the newborn owing the anti-Kell antibodies are caused by multiple blood transfusions, with the remainder due to a previous pregnancy with a Kell 1 positive baby.

    This test is run from cord blood. [3] In some cases, the direct Coombs will be negative but severe, even fatal HDN can occur. [29] An indirect Coombs needs to be run in cases of anti-C, [30] anti-c, [30] and anti-M. Anti-M also recommends antigen testing to rule out the presence of HDN.

    Coombs - after birth, the newborn will have a direct Coombs test run to confirm antibodies attached to the infant's red blood cells. This test is run from cord blood. [5] In some cases, the direct Coombs will be negative but severe, even fatal HDN can occur. [15] An indirect Coombs needs to be run in cases of anti-C, [16] anti-c, [16] or anti-M ...

  9. 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.
