Order Blood Type & Blood DisordersBlood typing and blood disorder testing are laboratory evaluations that identify a person's ABO and Rh blood group and screen for selected abnormalities of red blood cells, white blood cells, platelets, or clotting factors. These tests are used in many clinical settings, from routine prenatal care to pretransfusion compatibility checks and the investigation of unexplained anemia or bleeding.
About Blood Type & Blood Disorders in Clinton
Blood Type & Blood Disorders testing combines blood group determination with laboratory studies that assess the cellular and clotting components of blood.
Blood type is determined by the presence or absence of A and B antigens on red blood cells and by the Rh D antigen. The resulting ABO and Rh classification is essential for safe transfusion and for assessing Rh compatibility during pregnancy.
Blood disorder testing may include a complete blood count, a peripheral blood smear, reticulocyte counts, coagulation studies such as PT and aPTT, and specific assays for conditions including anemia, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, or inherited clotting defects. The exact panels ordered depend on the clinical question being evaluated.
Samples are collected by venipuncture into tubes appropriate for the requested assays, and results are typically reported within one to three business days. Preparation is minimal and follows the laboratory's instructions; some specialized coagulation tests may require additional timing or medication considerations.
