The direct Coombsâ test is used to differentiate between immunologic (e.g., autoimmune) and nonimmunologic (e.g., drug-induced) hemolytic anemias. Indirect Coombsâ test. The indirect Coombsâ test detects antibodies against human RBCs in the patientâs serum. The indirect Coombsâ test is used in crossmatching before blood transfusions.
