Distribution of ABO and Rh-D Blood Groups Among Blood Donors: Western India Data
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction: The distribution of ABO and Rhesus (Rh) - D blood groups varies from one population to another. The ABO and Rh blood groups play an integral role in blood transfusion service. They also have an important and useful role in population genetic studies and certain medico-legal cases. We carried out this study with the aim of determining the distribution of ABO and Rh blood groups among blood donors. This would also help in the planning of the ever increasing demand for safe blood and blood products. Aim: This study was undertaken with the aim of determining the distribution of ABO and Rhesus blood groups among blood donors in a tertiary care hospital in Western India. Materials and Methods: A retrospective study was performed over 5 years. The ABO blood grouping and Rhesus typing were done by tube method using venous blood samples. Results: The most common blood group was “O” (32.38%), followed by “B” (31.40%), “A” (26.70%), and “AB” (9.51%). The frequency of Rh positive group (94.62%) is more than Rh negative group (5.38%).
