Results for tag: "Direct Antiglobulin Test"

The Direct Antiglobulin Test (DAT) is a laboratory test used in hematology to detect the presence of antibodies or complement proteins attached to red blood cells. It is used to diagnose autoimmune hemolytic anemia, a condition in which the body's immune system attacks its own red blood cells. The DAT is also used to detect the presence of antibodies in a patient's blood that may be causing a transfusion reaction. The DAT market is a subset of the larger hematology market, which is estimated to be worth billions of dollars. The DAT market is expected to grow in the coming years due to the increasing prevalence of autoimmune hemolytic anemia and the need for accurate diagnosis. Some companies in the DAT market include Abbott Laboratories, Beckman Coulter, Siemens Healthineers, Ortho Clinical Diagnostics, and Roche Diagnostics. Show Less Read more
