Individual tests

A blood type can be classified into four common groups known as the ABO system: A, B, AB, or O. A second system, the Rh system, determines if the blood type is Rh-positive or -negative. Blood typing is a common test before blood transfusions, tissue transplants, and during pregnancy.

A blood type can be classified into four common groups known as the ABO system: A, B, AB, or O. A second system, the Rh system, determines if the blood type is Rh-positive or negative. The ABO type and an Rh test from cord blood determine the newborn's RH and blood type.
Creatine kinase (CK) is an enzyme that occurs naturally in your muscle cells, while CK-MB mainly occurs in your heart's muscle cells. Damage to heart muscle cells causes CK-MB to leak into your blood. This test helps detect how much CK-MB enzyme is in your blood. If there’s more CK-MB in your blood than there should be, it can be a sign you’ve had a heart attack.
Creatine Kinase is an enzyme found in heart, brain, and skeletal muscle. This test detects muscle inflammation or damage due to muscle disorders.
D-dimer is a protein fragment produced when a blood clot dissolves in your body. Blood clots prevent you from losing too much blood when injured. Normally, your body will dissolve the clot once your injury heals. With a clotting disorder, clots form when you aren't injured or don't dissolve when they should. These conditions are serious and potentially life-threatening. A D-dimer test can show if you have one of these conditions.
