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 two Coombs tests are the direct Coombs test (DCT, also known as direct antiglobulin test or DAT), and the indirect Coombs test (also known as indirect antiglobulin test or IAT) The direct Coombs test is used to test for autoimmune hemolytic anemia; i.e., a condition of a low count of red blood cells (a.k.a. RBCs) caused by immune system lysis or breaking of RBC membranes causing RBC destruction.
