Coomb’s Test (Indirect) (ICT) Test

Report Delivery Time: Same Day

Recommended Gender: Both

Sample Type: Blood

The Indirect Coombs Test (ICT) is a blood test used to detect antibodies against red blood cells in the bloodstream. It helps determine compatibility for blood transfusions and assess conditions like hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN) and autoimmune disorders.

The Indirect Coombs Test (ICT) is a laboratory test that detects antibodies in the blood that may attack red blood cells (RBCs). It is commonly used in blood transfusion compatibility testing and during pregnancy to check for Rh incompatibility between the mother and fetus.

Why is the Test Done?

Doctors recommend this test for:

  • Blood Transfusion Compatibility – Ensures safe blood transfusions by checking for antibodies that might react with donor RBCs.
  • Pregnancy and Rh Incompatibility – Identifies maternal antibodies that can cross the placenta and attack fetal RBCs, leading to Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn (HDN).
  • Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia – Diagnoses conditions where the immune system mistakenly attacks RBCs.
  • Monitoring Antibody Development – Evaluates patients who have received multiple blood transfusions or organ transplants.

Test Preparation & Procedure

Preparation:

  • No special preparation is required.
  • Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or have had a recent blood transfusion.

Procedure:

  • A blood sample is drawn from a vein.
  • The sample is tested in a laboratory to detect antibodies that might react with RBCs.
  • Results are usually available within a few days.

Interpreting Test Results

  • Negative ICT (Normal): No antibodies detected, meaning blood transfusion or pregnancy-related risks are minimal.
  • Positive ICT (Abnormal): Indicates the presence of antibodies that may cause transfusion reactions or hemolytic disease in newborns.

Importance of the Test

✔ Ensures safe blood transfusions.
✔ Helps manage Rh incompatibility during pregnancy.
✔ Diagnoses autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
✔ Aids in transplant compatibility assessment.

Always consult your healthcare provider for accurate interpretation and further management of your test results.
