Antibodies Screen Blood Test

Antibodies Screen Blood Test is used to detect IgG antibodies prior to transfusion or during pregnancy.

Description

This test is ordered to detect atypical IgG antibodies prior to transfusion or during pregnancy. The technique is designed specifically to detect IgG antibodies, though on occasion, some IgM antibodies may also be detected. Antibodies detected by the antibody screen will be subsequently identified, and a titer performed if the antibody identified is considered to be clinically significant during pregnancy.
