A blood group test checks which blood type you have. It looks at markers on your red blood cells to determine whether your blood group is A, B, AB or O, and whether it is positive or negative. This is usually done using a small blood sample taken from your arm.
People book a private blood group test in London for different reasons. Some need the information for healthcare planning, while others simply want to keep a record of their blood type.
Common reasons include:
A private blood test can be helpful if you want this information quickly and prefer to arrange it at a time that suits you.
Blood groups are based on markers found on the surface of your red blood cells. These markers help your immune system recognise your own blood cells.
The two main systems used are:
Together, these determine your blood type.
There are four basic groups in the ABO system:
These different blood types are important because incompatible blood can trigger an immune response. This is why blood group testing matters before a blood transfusion.
A – You have A antigens on your red blood cells and anti-B antibodies
B – You have B antigens and anti-A antibodies
AB – You only have A and B antigens and no anti-A/B antibodies
O – O is the most common blood type in the UK, you will have no antigens and both Anti-A/B antibodies
RhD Positive – Antigen is present
RhD Negative – The antigen is not present
Your blood type group is determined by your ABO group and your RhD Group. If you have the blood group is A and RhD positive, then you have the blood type A positive.
Your blood group is also classed as positive or negative depending on whether the RhD protein is present on your red blood cells.
For example, you may be:
Rh status can be especially relevant in pregnancy. If you are pregnant, your doctor may discuss why your blood type matters and whether any further checks are needed.
You can also read the NHS guidance on blood groups for more background on how blood groups work.c
Blood group testing is a simple appointment.
A clinician will usually take a small amount of blood from a vein in your arm. The skin is cleaned first, then a needle is used to collect the sample. The process usually only takes a few minutes.
Your sample is then tested to identify your blood group and Rh status. The test checks how your blood reacts with specific antibodies, helping the laboratory determine your blood type.
You do not usually need to prepare in a special way for a blood group test. You can eat and drink as normal unless you are having other blood tests at the same appointment that require fasting.
If you are booking several tests together, such as a full blood count, blood sugar, cholesterol, iron levels, thyroid function, kidney function or liver function, our team can let you know whether any preparation is needed.
