Clinical Significance: The Indirect Coombs Test (IAT) detects circulating free antibodies against foreign red blood cell antigens in serum, essential for prenatal screening and pre-transfusion safety.

Why It's Done:

Prevent Rh isoimmunization complications in pregnancy and protect the fetus

Screen recipient serum for unexpected RBC antibodies before blood transfusion

Ensure safe blood crossmatching for major surgical procedures

Detect serum antibodies causing red cell agglutination
