Coombs Test (Indirect)

Test Overview

Coombs Test (Indirect) Overview

The indirect Coombs test is a blood test used to detect antibodies against red blood cells (RBCs) in a patient's serum. It is typically used as part of pre-transfusion testing or prenatal screening. Unlike the direct Coombs test, which focuses on antibodies already attached to RBCs, the indirect version examines free antibodies in the bloodstream.By mixing the patient's serum with donor RBCs and adding Coombs reagent, the test can detect whether the patient has antibodies that could target transfused RBCs or, in pregnancy, a fetus’s RBCs, helping prevent immune reactions in transfusions and hemolytic disease of the newborn.
