Blood (AB0) Rhesus-factor (Rh-factor) — Laboratory studies that allow us to determine the blood group system by AB0 and Rh-evaluate the man belongs.
What are the different blood groups?
The differences between people on blood groups — is the difference in composition of certain antigens and antibodies. Summary system Classification of blood — the system AB0 (read — a, b, nil). Kpovi group designated by the presence or absence of a certain type of "glue" factor (agglutinogen)
0 (I) — Group 1 blood
A (II) — 2nd group blood
In (III) — the third blood group
AB (IV) — Group 4 blood

Approximately 80-85% of people have it and, accordingly, are Rh positive. Those who does not — Rh negative.

- determine the compatibility of blood for transfusion;
- hemolytic disease of the newborn (identifying blood incompatibility of mother and fetus on the system AB 0);
- preoperative preparation;
- pregnancy (training and supervision in the dynamics of pregnant women with Rh-negative).
How many days preparing for the analysis?
1 day
In what form is the result of the analysis is given on the blood group and Rh factor?
- 0 (I) — the first group,
- A (II) — the second group,
- B (III) — the third group,
- AB (IV) — the fourth group of the blood.
