Cross-matching
text:
Cross-matching or crossmatching is a test performed before a blood transfusion as part of blood compatibility testing.

If the blood is incompatible, the antibodies in the recipient's plasma will bind to antigens on the donor red blood cells. This antibody-antigen reaction can be detected through visible clumping or destruction of the red blood cells, or by reaction with anti-human globulin. Al
