Determining blood group ABO and Rh only

Reflex Tests
Lists tests that may or may not be performed, at an additional charge, depending on the result and interpretation of the initial tests.

Test Id Reporting Name Available Separately Always Performed
ABIDR Antibody Identification, RBC Yes No
ABOPR ABORh Problem RBC No No

Testing Algorithm
Delineates situations when tests are added to the initial order. This includes reflex and additional tests.

Includes identification of ABO and Rh blood group antigens. If indicated, antibody identification will be performed. If ABO/Rh discrepancy is detected, the ABO/Rh problem test may be ordered to result the final ABO/Rh interpretation.

Method Name
A short description of the method used to perform the test

Hemagglutination

NY State Available
Indicates the status of NY State approval and if the test is orderable for NY State clients.

No

Reporting Name

Specimen Type
Describes the specimen type validated for testing

Whole Blood EDTA

Specimen Required
Defines the optimal specimen required to perform the test and the preferred volume to complete testing

Container/Tube: Pink top (EDTA)

Specimen Volume: 6 mL

Collection Instructions:

1. Invert several times to mix blood.

2. Send whole blood specimen in original tube. Do not aliquot.

Additional Information: Blood for this test cannot be shared with other tests. Submit specimen for this test in its own vial.

Specimen Minimum Volume
Defines the amount of sample necessary to provide a clinically relevant result as determined by the testing laboratory. The minimum volume is sufficient for one attempt at testing.

3 mL

Reject Due To
Identifies specimen types and conditions that may cause the specimen to be rejected

Gross hemolysis Reject

Specimen Stability Information
Provides a description of the temperatures required to transport a specimen to the performing laboratory, alternate acceptable temperatures are also included

Clinical Information
Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test

This ABO and Rh blood typing test identifies the presence of specific red cell antigens and antibodies to determine the ABO/Rh type.

Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

ABO and Rh blood group antigens identified

Interpretation
Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results

Standard ABO/Rh type will be reported. Routine types include: O pos, O neg, A pos, A neg, B pos, B neg, AB pos and AB neg. Any relevant discrepancies will be noted.

Cautions
Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances

Clinical evaluation of antibodies identified is necessary to determine their potential for harm to the patient at this time and to assess appropriate action to be taken in the future.

Method Description
Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference

Agglutination of patient red cells with an antiserum represents the presence of the corresponding antigen on the red cells. Agglutination of patient plasma with reagent red blood cells represents the presence of the corresponding antibodies.(Cohn CS, Delaney DO, Johnson ST, Katz LM, Schwartz J, eds. Technical Manual. 21st ed. AABB; 2023)

PDF Report

Day(s) Performed
Outlines the days the test is performed. This field reflects the day that the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means that assays are performed multiple times during the day.

Monday through Sunday

Report Available
The interval of time (receipt of sample at Mayo Clinic Laboratories to results available) taking into account standard setup days and weekends. The first day is the time that it typically takes for a result to be available. The last day is the time it might take, accounting for any necessary repeated testing.

Same day/1 to 2 days

Performing Laboratory Location
Indicates the location of the laboratory that performs the test
