The Type & Screen test is a laboratory test that evaluates a person's blood type and screens for antibodies that may react against transfused blood. Clinicians typically order this test before blood transfusions, surgeries, or in situations where a patient might need a blood product. It is particularly important for ensuring compatibility between blood donors and recipients, thus minimizing the risk of transfusion reactions. The Type & Screen test helps identify a patient's ABO and Rh blood group, as well as any unexpected antibodies that could complicate blood transfusions.

Clinical Information
Clinical Significance
Abnormal results from the Type & Screen test may indicate the presence of unexpected antibodies, which could pose risks during blood transfusions. A high number of antibodies could suggest a history of previous transfusions or pregnancies. The Type & Screen test holds significant diagnostic value, ensuring that patients receive compatible blood products. It's important to remember that only a healthcare provider can interpret these results in the context of your overall health and medical history.
Reference Ranges
Reference ranges for blood type and antibody screening can vary based on the laboratory's methods and the population being tested. Generally, results will indicate the blood type (A, B, AB, or O) along with the Rh factor (+ or -). Interpretation of these results is done in the context of the patient's medical history and current health status.
Sample Preparation
Before your Type & Screen test, there are generally no special preparations required. You do not need to fast or stop any medications unless specifically instructed by your healthcare provider.
