Any patient that produces an unexpected antibody to one or more red cell antigens will need an extended phenotype of all the common antigens to confirm or exclude antibody specificity. Patients who may require long-term transfusion therapy (eg. sickle cell anemia or hemolytic anemia patients) will need extended RBC phenotype to identify the safest RBC product for transfusion. When an antibody identification workup is ordered, the extended phenotype is part of the identification process. If Rh phenotype is desired, order Rh phenotype.

Test Information: Test dependent on the antigen present.

Ordering Note: May be performed as part of a Antibody Identification workup and added by CAST for billing.
