blood type test

ABO classification procedure

A blood type test is a medical procedure that determines which blood group a person belongs to—A, B, AB, or O—along with the Rh factor (positive or negative).

The test is essential before blood transfusions, during pregnancy, and for organ donation to ensure compatibility.

The hospital ran a blood type test before surgery.
