COOMBS TEST (INDIRECT) SCREENING

The Indirect Coombs screening (indirect antiglobulin test) detects clinically significant antibodies in a patient’s plasma that may react with donor red cells or cause hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn; our home service sends a trained phlebotomist to collect a blood sample which is then processed quickly by an accredited UAE laboratory. This test is recommended for pregnant women (especially Rh‑negative or with prior alloimmunization), patients with a history of transfusion, or anyone requiring pre‑transfusion antibody screening, as results directly inform Rh immunoprophylaxis, antibody identification, and safe blood selection. Samples are collected at your Dubai residence and delivered for rapid, accredited reporting to your clinician—please notify your provider of recent transfusions, pregnancies, or immunizations to ensure accurate interpretation.
