The Coombs’ test is used to check for antibodies that act against the red blood cells in the body, may bind to them and hence cause premature red blood cell destruction (hemolysis). There are two forms of the Coombs’ test: (a) Direct Coombs’ test (b) Indirect Coombs’ test
The indirect Coombs test finds certain antibodies that are in the liquid part of your blood (serum). These antibodies can attack red blood cells but are not attached to your red blood cells. The indirect Coombs test is commonly done to find antibodies in a recipient’s or donor’s blood before a transfusion.
To interpret test results use the reference range in the laboratory report.
