Blood types are A, B, AB and O, and may vary with the Rh factor being positive or negative. At the same time, not all blood types are compatible with each other, so it is necessary to know which one you have in case you need a blood transfusion or organ transplant.
Also, understanding about blood types is important even when having a baby. In this scenario, it is necessary to understand the type of parents so that it does not cause the so-called Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn, where the baby's blood is incompatible with the mother's blood. In this way, learn how to identify yours:
1. Look at old blood tests
If you don't remember what your blood type is, perhaps looking at a previous blood test is the most practical way to remember. Therefore, it is important to keep the exam papers, so you will get the training faster and directly from home.
2. Recall concepts of biology and genetics
If you were a good student in school, you might remember the subjects you studied about the ABO System and the RH Factor. For this, it is necessary to know at least the blood type of your parents and by doing the math you will know yours.
4. Donate blood
In the act of donating blood, it is possible to have the answer to this question. In this way, when you apply as a blood donor, some tests are carried out, including blood typing. With this, you will know the answer to your question and still help save lives.
5. take the exam
You can go to a clinic, through a doctor's request in the case of the SUS, and do the blood typing test directly. At that time, only your blood type will be identified.
