Comparision of BT (Bleeding Time) / CT (Clotting Time) with Respect to Blood Group in Medical Students
Journal Title: International Journal of Health Sciences and Research - Year 2017, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
The antigens of the ABO blood group system (A, B and H determinants, respectively) are complex Carbohydrate molecules on the extracellular surface of red blood cell membranes. However, along with their expression on red blood cells, ABO antigens are also highly expressed on the surface of a variety of human cells and tissues, including the epithelium, sensory neurons, platelets, and the vascular endothelium. Also there is association between ABO blood group status and von Will brand factor. Deficiency of vWF leads to Hemorrhagic disorders, while elevated levels are a risk factor for thrombosis. Earlier studies state that the O group individuals have prolonged bleeding time and clotting time. The objective of this study was to assess the relationship between Bleeding time and clotting time among various Blood groups. This is a cross sectional study including 433 Undergraduate students. There was a difference in BT & CT found with respect to blood groups but there was no statistical significance in it. Also no statistically significant difference was observed in BT & CT in Rh-ve & Rh+ve blood group. The difference in O blood group and Non O blood group was also not significant. A large multicentric study in which the levels of von Will brand’s factor should be carried out to clear the gray area around this topic.
