These tests are commonly ordered for transfusion planning, pregnancy care, and the investigation of anemia or abnormal bleeding.
About Blood Type & Blood Disorders in Altadena
Blood Type & Blood Disorders testing combines blood group identification with screening assays that detect certain inherited or acquired blood conditions.
Blood typing determines ABO and Rh status by exposing a blood sample to reagents that cause visible clumping when the corresponding antigens are present. This information is essential before transfusions and during pregnancy to assess compatibility between mother and fetus.
Blood disorder screening may include a complete blood count, reticulocyte count, hemoglobin electrophoresis, or other markers depending on the clinical question. These tests can reveal anemia, abnormal hemoglobin variants, or deficiencies that affect how blood cells are produced and function.
Results are interpreted alongside symptoms, family history, and other laboratory findings. Abnormal values do not by themselves confirm a diagnosis; they indicate whether further targeted testing or a specialist evaluation may be appropriate.
