The Direct Coombs test facilitates the diagnosis of antibodies that adhere to the red blood cells (RBCs). Coombs reagent is used for the detection of antibodies in a blood sample.

Why and When is a Direct Coombs Test (DCT) Done?
A DCT (or Direct Antiglobin Test) report helps assess the degree of antibody activity against red blood cells in the body. Antibodies are proteins that help to fight foreign particles and infection-causing organisms like bacteria, viruses, etc.
In normal circumstances, antibodies can differentiate between self and 'non-self' cells. But in some situations, these antibodies consider the body's cells as foreign entities and start attacking them. This results in an unwarranted breakdown of red blood cells, which can cause hemolytic anaemia and several health issues.
If you are facing the following symptoms, your medical consultant will suggest you take a Direct Coombs test soon.
- Anaemia
- Heart palpitations
- Jaundice
- Muscular pain
- Diarrhoea
- Sore tongue
- Dark urine
