Lɛ wi lan bɔt di Coombs Test insay wan simpul we.

Sɔntɛnde, we wi dɔktɔ tɛl wi fɔ du blɔd tɛst, wi nɔ kin rili ebul fɔ no wetin i bi. Wan pan dɛn nem ya na di ‘Coombs test’. Yu go dɔn yɛri bɔt dis tɛst, mɔ if yu gɛt bɛlɛ, dɛn transfyushɔn yu pikin, ɔ if yu pikin gɛt wan sik lɛk janda. So lɛ wi si wetin dis tɛst rili de luk fɔ ɛn wetin mek i impɔtant, insay wan rili simpul we.

Fɔ tɔk am simpul wan, wetin na dis Kɔmbs Tɛst?

Wi bɔdi gɛt difens sistɛm, lɛk ami we de protɛkt wan kɔntri. Wi kin kɔl di spɛshal sojaman dɛn we de na dis ami antibodi . Dɛn men wok na fɔ protɛkt wi frɔm sik dɛn bay we dɛn de fɛt ɛnimi dɛn lɛk jem, baktri, ɛn vayrɔs, we dɛn kɔl antijen , we de kam insay di bɔdi frɔm ɔdasay.

Bɔt imajin, wetin go apin if sɔntɛnde dɛn pipul ya we de fɛt fɔ dɛnsɛf mek mistek ɛn bigin fɔ atak wi yon gud, wɛlbɔdi sɛl dɛn instead fɔ no se dɛn na fɔrina ɛnimi dɛn? Dat na di tin we bad pas ɔl. Di Coombs test de basically chɛk if ɛni antibodies de na wi blɔd we kin atak di rɛd blɔd sɛl dɛn, ɔ if dɛn dɔn ɔlrɛdi atak dɛn.

Tu kayn Coombs tɛst de.

Yes, tu men kayn de fɔ dis Coombs tɛst. Di dɔktɔ go tɛl yu fɔ du wan pan dɛn tu tin ya. Lɛ wi luk di difrɛns bitwin di tu dis we.

Wetin mek di Coombs Test impɔtant so we uman gɛt bɛlɛ?

di Indaykt Kumbs Tεst we dεn kin du we uman bεlε, de chεk if di mama in bכdi gεt antibodi dεm we de agens di Rh fכktכ. Naw mek wi si wetin na dis Rh factor.

Imajin, apat frɔm di kayn blɔd we wi gɛt (A, B, AB, O), ɔda spɛshal prɔtin, ɔ ‘mak’ kin de na di rɛd blɔd sɛl dɛn. Dɛn kɔl dis di Rh factor .

• if dis mak de, dat bכdi tכp na Rh-positiv (e.g. O positifu, A positifu).
• if dis mak nכ de, dat bכdi tכp na Rh-nεgεtiv (e.g. O nεgεtiv, A nεgεtiv).

Naw tink bɔt dis: Wetin kin apin if di mama in blɔd tayp na Rh-nɛgitiv (we min se i nɔ gɛt da spɛshal mak de), bɔt di pikin we de na di bɛlɛ gɛt di papa in blɔd tayp ɛn i gɛt Rh-positiv (we min se di pikin in blɔd gɛt da mak de)?

wetin kin apin ya na if sכm sכm pan di pikin in bכdi miks wit di mama in bכdi sכm tεm, lεk we i de bכn, di mama in imyun sistεm de no di ‘mak’ we dεn kכl Rh fכktכ na di pikin in bכdi as fכrin εnimi. Dɔn di mama in bɔdi kin bigin fɔ mek antibodi dɛn fɔ fɛt da ɛnimi de. dis dεn kכl am Rh sεnsitayzεshכn .

כltu, di fכs bεlε, dεn antibodi dεm ya kin tek lכng tεm fכ divεlכp, so di fכs pikin nכ kin afekt bכku. Bɔt di prɔblɛm kin kam di nɛks bɛlɛ. if di mama de kכri pikin bak we gεt Rh, di antibodi dεm we dεn bin mek bifo dεn rεdi insay di mama in bכdi, kכros di plasεnta, εn bigin fכ atak εn pwεl di pikin in rεd bכdi sεl dεm.

Dis kin mek di pikin gɛt siriɔs wɛlbɔdi prɔblɛm lɛk we i nɔ gɛt bɛtɛ blɔd ɛn i kin gɛt jaundice. Na dat mek i rili impɔtant fɔ du dis Coombs tɛst ali we uman gɛt bɛlɛ fɔ no if dis kayn risk de ɛn if nid de, fɔ trit am fɔ mek i nɔ apin.

Yu kin du dis tɛst bak fɔ pikin dɛn we dɛn jɔs bɔn?

Yɛs. Sɔntɛnde, if pikin we dɛn jɔs bɔn gɛt siriɔs janda, dɔktɔ dɛn kin du Dayrɛkt Kumbs Tɛst. dis de tεst fכ si if di antibodi dεm we di mama de mek we i bεlε dεn dכn go insay di pikin in bכdi, atak di pikin in rεd bכdi sεl dεm, εn dכn pwεl dεm.

Ɛnitin de we a nid fɔ du bifo a tek di tɛst?

Nɔ, natin nɔ de we spɛshal yu nid fɔ rɛdi fɔ bifo yu go fɔ dis Coombs tɛst. Yu nɔ nid fɔ fast ɔ stɔp fɔ tek ɛni mɛrɛsin.

Dis na wan rili simpul blɔd tɛst. Dɛn kin put smɔl nidul insay wan vein na yu an ɛn tek blɔd sɛmpul. Yu go jɔs fil smɔl prik. Dɔn dɛn kin sɛn di blɔd sɛmpul to wan lɛb fɔ mek dɛn tɛst am. Bɔku tɛm, dɛn kin gɛt di rizɔlt insay 24 awa.

Wetin di tɛst ripɔt min?

Di rizɔlt fɔ dis tɛst kin kam insay tu men we dɛn: Pozitiv ɔ Negativ.

Wetin i min if yu gɛt fayn rizɔlt?

• If yu test positif bifo yu gi blɔd: Dis min se yu nid fɔ tek tɛm bad bad wan we yu de gi blɔd, ɛn pik di kayn blɔd we go fayn fɔ yu. Pipul dɛn we gɛt blɔd bɔku tɛm kin gɛt dɛn antibodi ya, so i kin at smɔl fɔ fɛn di kayn blɔd we go gri wit dɛn.
• if yu test positif we yu bεlε: Dis min se yu bכdi dכn divεlכp antibodi dεm agens di Rh-positiv pikin. Dɔn yu go nid fɔ go fɛn tritmɛnt fɔ protɛkt di pikin.
• If di pikin in ripɔt fayn: I kin sho se di pikin gɛt anemia ɔ janda. Di dɔktɔ go chɛk di pikin ɛn tɛl am di tritmɛnt we i nid.

Ustɛm a fɔ go to dɔktɔ?

If yu gɛt sayn dɛn we de sho se yu nɔ gɛt blɔd, lɛk we yu skin ɔ yu yay de yɔlɔ (jaundice) , yu taya ɛn wik ɔltɛm , yu de tɔn ed , ɔ yu kɔnfyus , go to yu dɔktɔ wantɛm wantɛm . I go chɛk yu ɛn if nid de, i go du ɔda tɛst dɛn, lɛk wan Coombs tɛst fɔ no wetin na yu sik ɛn di bɛst tritmɛnt fɔ am.

Di Coombs tɛst na jɔs wan tɛst we de gi yu dɔktɔ wan clue bɔt wan prɔblɛm na yu bɔdi. I nɔ de tɛl yu ustɛm na di sik. So, if yu gɛt fayn rizɔlt, yu go nid fɔ du mɔ tɛst fɔ no wetin rili de mek yu gɛt am.
