How Are Blood Types Identified?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    When identifying blood types for transfusion, there are two systems that are most important that is the ABO system and the Rh system.

    ABO system: This identifies your blood antigens in cases when you have A or B blood type. The ABO system plays an important partial role in identifying the blood group through the antigens in the Red blood cells.

    In addition, there is the Rh system which is used to identify if the blood group is negative or positive. This is done through another antigen present in the blood which is called the Rh antigen. You can find more about blood and its groups/types here.
