what happens if indirect coombs test is positive
Coombs test The direct Coombs test is used clinically when immune-mediated hemolytic anemia (antibody-mediated destruction of RBCs) is suspected. A positive Coombs test indicates that an immune mechanism is attacking the patient's own RBCs. This mechanism could be autoimmunity, alloimmunity or a drug-induced immune-mediated mechanism.
