Why Test for Your Blood Type? (€70)
Knowing your blood type is a simple but essential part of your medical profile. It plays a crucial role in emergency situations, pregnancy, organ donation, and blood transfusions. Having this information readily available could one day save your life — or someone else’s.
Blood is categorised into four main groups — A, B, AB, and O — and each can be Rh-positive or Rh-negative, creating eight possible blood types. Your blood type is inherited and does not change over time. This test costs €70 and does not require fasting, making it quick and easy to complete.
