What Is an Indirect Coombs Test in Delhi?
The Indirect Coombs Test in Delhi is a blood test that detects free antibodies circulating in your bloodstream. These antibodies may attack red blood cells (RBCs), causing haemolysis (breakdown of red blood cells), leading to anaemia or transfusion complications.
This test is commonly performed before blood transfusions to ensure compatibility, and during pregnancy to detect Rh incompatibility between a mother and baby. At Metropolis Healthcare, the test is conducted using Automated Column Agglutination Technology (CAT) for precise and dependable results.
What Does an Indirect Coombs Test Measure in Delhi?
The Indirect Coombs Test measures free antibodies in your blood that may target red blood cells. It helps:
- Detect antibodies that could trigger transfusion reactions.
- Screen for Rh incompatibility in pregnancy.
- Diagnose autoimmune or drug-induced haemolytic anaemia.
- Investigate causes of unexplained anaemia or jaundice.
- Confirm blood compatibility before transfusions.
Who Should Consider an Indirect Coombs Test?
- Are planning or have received a blood transfusion.
- Are a pregnant woman with Rh-negative blood type.
- Have symptoms of anaemia or jaundice.
- Are being evaluated for autoimmune haemolytic anaemia.
