What does «tipificación de sangre» mean in Spanish?
- This is the method by which the specific type of blood is determined. The type will depend on the presence or absence of certain proteins, called antigens or markers, on the red blood cells. The markers or antigens are used by the body to identify that the red blood cells belong to the body's own system. These markers can significantly influence whether blood is accepted or rejected after receiving a blood transfusion.
