A blood type (also called a blood group) is a classification of blood based on the presence or absence of inherited antigenic substances on the surface of red blood cells (RBCs). These antigens may be proteins, carbohydrates, glycoproteins or glycolipids, depending on the blood group system, and some of these antigens are also present on the surface of other types of cells of various tissues. Several of these red blood cell surface antigens, that stem from one allele (or very closely linked genes), collectively form a blood group system.

Blood types are inherited and represent contributions from both parents. A total of 29 human blood group systems are now recognized by the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT).

Many pregnant women carry a fetus with a different blood type from their own, and the mother can form antibodies against fetal RBCs. Sometimes these maternal antibodies are IgG, a small immunoglobulin, which can cross the placenta cause hemolysis of fetal RBCs, which in turn can lead to hemolytic disease of the newborn, a illness of low fetal blood counts that is usually temporary or treatable.

What is blood made up of ?

Plasma, the liquid part of blood, makes up about 60% of the blood's volume. Plasma is mainly made from water, but contains many different proteins and other chemicals such as hormones, antibodies, enzymes, glucose, fat particles, salts, etc.

Blood cells, which can be seen under a microscope, make up about 40% of the blood's volume. Blood cells are made in the bone marrow by blood 'stem' cells. Blood cells are divided into three main types.

Red cells (erythrocytes). These make blood a red colour. One drop of blood contains about five million red cells. A constant new supply of red blood cells is needed to replace old cells that break down. Millions are released into the bloodstream from the bone marrow each day. Red cells contain a chemical called haemoglobin. This binds to oxygen, and takes oxygen from the lungs to all parts of the body.

White cells (leucocytes). There are different types of white cells such as neutrophils (polymorphs), lymphocytes, eosinophils, monocytes, basophils. They are a part of the immune system and are mainly involved in combating infection.
Platelets. These are tiny and help the blood to clot if we cut ourselves

At Homehealth4u.co.uk we offer a simple Blood group test and a Blood Glucose Meter

Blood Group Test ABO and Rhesus (D)

It is essential that everyone know their own blood group and that of their family members. There are many occasions when knowing your blood group could be important, for example, if you or a member of your family, required an urgent blood transfusion it would be useful to know your blood group in advance. If it was an uncommon group it would allow the hospital valuable time to ensure adequate supplies.

If you travel overseas carrying a blood group card could prove invaluable. Accidents and other emergencies can often be dealt with more efficiently knowing the blood group of the person or persons involved.

How accurate is this test?

The test is accurate and will detect the common blood grouping system A,B,O,AB and Rhesus(D). Unusual blood groups or rare sub-types will not be detected by this method. Further investigation by a blood transfusion laboratory will be necessary to identify such groups.

Please note: This test should not be used to determine blood type for transfusion purposes.

MediSense Optium Xceed blood glucose meter kit

How it works
It is made up of three main parts: the Optium Sensor, Optium Plus blood glucose electrodes, and Optium blood ß-Ketone electrodes. ß-Ketone is a name we use for our blood ketone test which detects ß-Hydroxybutyrate, the major ketone body.

When the blood sample is applied to the electrode, the glucose or ketone (ß-Hydroxybutyrate) in the blood, depending on which test you are performing, reacts with the chemicals on the electrode. This reaction produces a small electrical current that is measured and the result is displayed by the sensor.

Alternative site testing
MediSense Optium Xceed is designed for testing blood obtained from a finger prick, but you can also use it to test blood from other, less painful, sites such as the base of the thumb, forearm or upper arm. The instructions say that you should ask for personal health advice from your diabetes specialist doctor or nurse, before trying alternative site testing.
