Of course! Also called the Direct Antiglobulin Test (DAT), the Direct Coombs Test is an essential diagnostic technique that’s frequently referred to as “hemagglutinin screening.” The purpose of this test is to identify antibodies that attach themselves to the surface of red blood cells, causing the cells to clump together, or agglutinate. It is mostly used to diagnose diseases that result in hemolytic anemia, a condition in which the immune system of the body accidentally targets its own red blood cells, causing them to be destroyed before their time.
The inclusion of “health heart diagnostics” (HHD) in the Direct Coombs Test description draws attention to its indirect but noteworthy connection to cardiovascular health. This test can identify hemolytic anemia, which can have a serious negative effect on cardiac function by decreasing blood’s ability to carry oxygen and resulting in compensatory
