Understanding Coombs Test - Direct
The Coombs Test - Direct, also known as the Direct Antiglobulin Test (DAT), helps diagnose various conditions in which the body’s immune system mistakenly targets and attacks its own red blood cells, leading to their premature destruction (hemolysis).

What does Coombs Test - Direct measure?
The Coombs Test - Direct is a blood test used to detect antibodies or complement proteins attached to the surface of red blood cells (RBCs). This test helps diagnose conditions where the immune system attacks RBCs, such as autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), and monitor potential blood compatibility issues during transfusions. It is crucial for identifying causes of hemolysis, especially in newborns and individuals with autoimmune diseases.
