About this test

This test identifies your ABO blood group and Rhesus factor (positive or negative) from a blood sample. It's a one-off identification test rather than something you would repeat to monitor your health over time, and it can be useful to have on record for situations such as pregnancy planning, surgery or blood donation.

Among the general health and wellness tests we track, a single biomarker places it towards the low end for depth, which fits its purpose as an identification test rather than a health panel. On price, at £109 it costs below the typical general wellness test of similar size in our tracking.

It's easy to see what's included before you buy, with the biomarker, sample type, turnaround and collection options clearly listed; only the report format is left unstated. Trust signals score highly too, reflecting Medichecks' 4.5 Trustpilot rating (over 2,400 reviews), UKAS ISO 15189 accredited partner labs, doctor review as standard, and a track record stretching back to 2001. Collection convenience is middling, since there's no at-home option and you need a venous draw at a clinic or a home nurse visit.

Who is it for?

This test suits you if you want your blood group and Rhesus factor confirmed and recorded, for example ahead of pregnancy, surgery, travel, or to register as a blood donor. It isn't designed as an ongoing health-monitoring test, so if you're looking for that, a broader panel would suit you better.

Because it needs a venous draw at a clinic or a home nurse visit, it will suit people happy to attend in person or book a home appointment rather than use a postal finger-prick kit.

How it works

You give your sample via an in-store clinic, a home nurse visit, or a venous draw at a clinic; there's no at-home finger-prick option for this test. The lab identifies your ABO group and Rhesus factor, and a doctor reviews the result before it's sent to you, typically within 4 days.

Pros & cons

Pros

  • A doctor reviews your blood group result before it's sent to you.
  • A useful, one-off result you can keep on record for medical situations.
  • At £109, it costs less than the typical general wellness test of similar size we track.
  • A home nurse visit is available if you cannot get to a clinic.

Cons

  • No at-home finger-prick option; you need a clinic or nurse visit.
  • A one-off identification result rather than an ongoing health check.
