Coombs, Winni (Tim Coombs)

Winni (Tim Coombs) is associated with the Coombs Test, a medical procedure used to detect certain blood incompatibilities, such as during pregnancy or blood transfusions. The test identifies whether antibodies are attacking red blood cells, which can cause conditions like hemolytic disease. It works by adding specific chemicals to a blood sample to see if agglutination (clumping) occurs, indicating the presence of harmful antibodies. The Coombs Test is essential for ensuring safe blood transfusions and monitoring pregnancies at risk of incompatibility, helping prevent serious health complications.
