A member asked:
When hospitals type and match blood, does it show the rh factor or just the blood type?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Oh, MUCH more...: ABO type, Rh type, and a screen for any unusual antibodies from other groups that may affect the safety of transfuson. Typing blood is an extremely deep subject and there are actually dozens of types with which I'm experienced and many more that I've only read about.
