ABO-Rh Prenatal
Also known as: ABORH-PR
Use
This test is used to determine the patient's blood type (ABO and Rh D) in prenatal patients to evaluate possible risk for hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN) and to assess if the patient is a candidate for Rh Immunoglobulin.
Special Instructions
This test should be ordered for prenatal patients only. Ensure proper labeling and accurate identification of the specimen to prevent errors.
Limitations
This test is limited to assessing the ABO and Rh D antigen status. Variants that do not result in hemagglutination may not be detected. Interfering substances or improper handling may lead to inaccurate results. Repeat testing or alternative methods may be required for inconclusive results.
