What is ABO blood grouping system?
ABO blood grouping
Blood group testing is a very common medical procedure to but do you know what is actually done in blood group testing. Our blood consists of a pair of antigens.
Each antigen pair produces an antibody for another blood group, therefore, there is a need to match the blood groups before the blood transfusion.
| Blood group | Antigen | Antibody | Donor |
| AB | A,B | Nil | AB, A,B,O |
| A | A | B | A, O |
| B | B | A | B, O |
| O | Nul | A, B | O |
Rh factor is also tested before blood testing to avoid any chances of failure in blood transfusion process.
On the basis of this grouping blood group O individuals are universal donors and blood group AB are universal acceptors.
Mismatched blood transfusions can lead to severe complexities ultimately leading to death.
Few mild symptoms of erroneous blood transfusions are itching, hives, wheezing, and fever.
Severe reactions are an anaphylactic shock.
