- CPT Code: To be determined by tests performed
This profile can be ordered for any pregnant patient who has not had an antibody screen performed during the current pregnancy or has been found to have a positive antibody screen (LISS-IAT). If the LISS antibody screen test is reactive, antibody identification will be performed until all common exclusions are completed. Depending on the complexity of the case and number of antibodies identified, further testing may be required. These tests could include ABO and D typing, complete phenotyping, antibody titration (one per specificity unless all antibodies are in Rh system), alloabsorption or adsorption for specificity separation, and plasma/substance inhibitions. If a titer is performed, the remaining sample will be frozen for use as a parallel control to be tested with future samples.
- Sample Required: Two 7 mL EDTA tubes
- Normal Test Values: Antibody screen test negative. Further testing will follow if this is positive.
- Analytic Time: 24 hours if on a weekday, 72 hours if on a weekend
- Days Test is Set Up: Monday through Sunday
