The direct Coombs' test may be used if doctors suspect a person is affected by a type of anaemia called haemolytic anaemia. Haemolytic anaemia is a condition where there are not enough red blood cells in the body because something in the body is destroying them.
The Coombs test will help your doctor determine if you have antibodies in your bloodstream that are causing your immune system to attack and destroy your own red blood cells. If your red blood cells are being destroyed, this can result in a condition called hemolytic anemia. There are two types of Coombs tests: the direct Coombs test and the indirect Coombs test. The direct test is more common and checks for antibodies that are attached to the surface of your red blood cells.
