# ABO Grouping and Rho(D) Typing

> This test identifies specific markers on the surface of your red blood cells to determine your blood group (A, B, AB, or O) and Rh type (positive or negative). It is essential for ensuring safety during blood transfusions and helps doctors manage pregnancies where a mother and baby may have incompatible blood types. While this result helps prevent dangerous immune reactions to donor blood, it does not diagnose blood diseases, infections, or clotting disorders.
