DIRECT COOMBS TEST

Your body contains antibodies that protect your RBCs from pathogens. The Direct Coombs Test looks for antibodies that may attach to or harm red blood cells. Antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system when it identifies anything abnormal in the body. The DTC is an immunology laboratory test that determines the existence of antibodies to red blood cells in the body. Early detection can help avert serious health problems. Seek medical attention if you have lethargy, chilly hands and feet, pale complexion, or breathing problems. Based on your symptoms and reports, your doctor may recommend a Direct Coombs test.

The Direct Coombs test price in Delhi generally ranges between ₹400 to ₹800, depending on whether it is done alone or as part of another blood test. Test reports are usually available on the same day or within 24 hours. You can easily book a Direct Coombs test near you at City X-Ray through online booking, phone call, WhatsApp, or a walk-in visit.

What is a Direct Coombs Blood Test?

The Direct Coombs test, also known as the direct antiglobulin test (DAT), is a diagnostic test that detects antibodies that bind to red blood cells (RBCs) and cause their destruction (haemolysis). This test is critical for detecting diseases such as autoimmune haemolytic anaemia (AIHA).

In AIHA, the immune system incorrectly assaults its own RBCs, resulting in a lower RBC count. Symptoms of AIHA include weariness, pale complexion, trouble breathing, and jaundice. The Direct Coombs test (DCT) is used to determine whether the immune system is causing the problem.
