The Blood Type Test determines the ABO blood group by checking for the presence of A and B antigens on red blood cells.
Blood group A: A antigens are present
Blood group B: B antigens are present
Blood group AB: Both A and B antigens are present
Blood group O: Neither A nor B antigens are present

Biomarkers included – Blood Type Test
- Blood Group O: Blood group O has no A or B antigens on red blood cells but has both anti-A and anti-B antibodies in the plasma. People with this blood group can donate red blood cells to anyone (universal donor), but can only receive blood from group O. Blood group O is the most common blood type in many populations. Due to the absence of A and B antigens, it is critical for emergency transfusions.
- Blood Group B: Blood group B has B antigens on red blood cells and anti-A antibodies in the plasma. People with this blood type can donate blood to those with blood group B or AB. They can receive blood from donors with blood group B or O. Blood group B is less common in some regions. Compatibility is key for safe transfusions.
- Blood Group A: Blood group A has A antigens on the surface of red blood cells and anti-B antibodies in the plasma. Individuals with this blood group can donate blood to people with blood group A or AB. They can receive blood from group A or O donors. Group A is one of the most common blood types worldwide. Proper matching is essential to avoid transfusion reactions.
- Blood Group AB: Blood group AB has both A and B antigens on red blood cells and no anti-A or anti-B antibodies in the plasma. It is known as the universal recipient for red blood cell transfusions because individuals with this group can receive blood from all other groups. However, they can only donate blood to others with blood group AB. AB is the rarest of the four main blood groups. It is important to consider
