Does the ABO hemolysis titer antibody test require fasting?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

It can be taken on an empty stomach. ABO blood group incompatibility occurs when the mother is type O and the child is type A or B. ABO blood group incompatibility is the main cause of neonatal hemolytic disease in China and a common cause of hyperbilirubinemia. This condition accounts for 0.3% of stillbirths, 27.2% of severe hyperbilirubinemia, 1.4% of neonatal deaths, and 5.9% of bilirubin encephalopathy.
When the titer of anti-A and anti-B antibodies is higher than 1:128, the incidence of neonatal hemolytic disease is relatively high. If not treated promptly, there is a risk of fetal death in utero. Comprehensive treatment is generally required, and taking the traditional Chinese medicine Yinchen Decoction is essential. Oxygen therapy and intravenous fluids may also be necessary when needed.
