Blood group (ABO / Rh)

About this test

This test identifies your ABO and Rh blood group from a venous blood sample. Bluecrest's description frames this as useful to have on record, since receiving blood of the wrong group in a transfusion can be life-threatening.

With a single marker, it sits in the 8th percentile for biomarker count among the general health and wellness tests we track, so it is one of the narrowest tests in this category, though depth is not really the point of a test like this. The value for money score is high here, since £65 compares with a £135 median for similarly sized general wellness tests we track. It loses points on results and follow-up, because there is no doctor review as standard, and on collection convenience, since it requires a venous draw at a clinic with results in around 8 days.

Who is it for?

This suits you if you simply want your blood group confirmed and recorded, for example if you have never had it tested before. It only covers one marker, so if you want a broader check of your general health, Bluecrest's own Core Health MOT (43 markers, £239) or Complete Health MOT (44 markers, £339) cover far more ground, at a considerably higher price. There is no equivalent blood group test from another provider in our data to compare directly.

How it works

This is a blood test taken by venous draw at a Bluecrest venue, not an at-home kit. Results are expected in around 3 to 8 days and are not reviewed by a doctor as standard.
