Type AB blood, Rh positive

This code indicates that a patient has type AB blood and is Rh positive. This is a specific classification of an individual's blood group, determined by the presence or absence of A and B antigens on red blood cells and the Rh factor.

This code is used to document a patient's specific blood type, often identified through laboratory testing. It is typically applied when a patient's blood type is definitively known and needs to be recorded in their medical record for various clinical purposes, such as prior to transfusions, during pregnancy, or for general medical history.

• Only assign this code when the patient's blood type is confirmed as AB positive.
• Do not use this code if the Rh factor is unknown or negative; use a more specific code if available.
• This code is for informational purposes and does not typically represent a primary diagnosis for a medical condition.
