About Blood Type Test | Learn Your Blood Type in Santa Barbara
Blood type is inherited and fixed for life, which is why a single test can establish it permanently.
The ABO system sorts blood into four groups: A, B, AB, and O. These groups reflect which antigens are present on the surface of red blood cells and which antibodies circulate in the plasma.
The Rh system adds a second layer of classification. A person is either Rh positive, meaning the Rh antigen is present, or Rh negative, meaning it is absent. Combining both systems produces the familiar designations such as A positive or O negative.
Blood typing is used before transfusions, during pregnancy, and in organ matching, because incompatible blood can trigger a serious immune reaction. It is also commonly performed for personal knowledge or documentation.
