Details
Antibody Identification, Titer and Typing, RBC - Antibody identification is needed to assess the risk of hemolytic disease of the newborn and to identify sensitized persons at risk in the setting of future transfusions.
Reflex testing uses predefined clinical logic to automatically order one or more follow-up tests based on the initial test results. Reflex tests are performed automatically without the intervention of the ordering practitioner. They are conducted using the same sample your Patient already provided. If reflex tests are required, there will be additional charges.
