Immunohematology

Blood banking, also known as immunohematology, is a branch of laboratory medicine that deals with the preparation of blood and blood components for transfusion, as well as the selection and monitoring of those components after transfusion. Antigen-antibody responses and comparable phenomena as they relate to the pathophysiology and clinical symptoms of blood disorders are studied in immunohematology, a field of haematology and transfusion medicine. An immunohematologist is a professional who works in this discipline. Blood typing, cross-matching, and antibody identification are among their daily responsibilities. The antigen will be detected on the patient's red cells using the same techniques. A wide range of immuno-haematological procedures are utilised to discover and address diagnostic difficulties in patients with haematological disorders such as auto immune haemolytic anaemia. In immunohaematology, molecular approaches are increasingly being employed to establish a patient's antigen profile, solve complex challenges, and perform large-scale red cell type.
