Study Notes
ABO Blood Group System
- The ABO blood group system is the major blood group system in transfusion and transplantation.
- ABO genes determine the production of antigens on red blood cells.
- Types: A, B, AB, O
- O is a recessive gene.
- A and B are codominant.
- H gene affects the expression of A and B antigens.
- H gene is on chromosome 19, ABO genes are on chromosome 9.
Hh Blood Group System
- The Hh blood group system influences the expression of the ABO system.
- It's a separate blood group system.
Blood Typing Reactions
- In blood typing reactions, identify phenotypes using direct and reverse methods.
- Direct method identifies the antigens on the red blood cells.
- Reverse method identifies the antibodies in the serum.
- Atypical reactions need to be resolved.
- Correct blood typing is essential in preventing serious complications.
ABO Subgroups and Variants
- ABO blood group subgroups (A1, A2, etc.) and variants exist.
- Subgroups are important in blood transfusions, as mismatches can cause problems.
Importance of Blood Typing
- Accurate blood typing is crucial for safe transfusions.
- Errors in blood typing can lead to fatal or potentially very serious complications.
Blood Typing Discrepancies
- Identify and resolve blood typing discrepancies.
- The possible causes of discrepancies include errors in procedures (e.g. instrument error or mix up), patient issues (e.g. cold agglutinins, certain diseases or medications) or reagent quality.
Discovery of the ABO system
- Karl Landsteiner discovered the ABO blood group system in 1901.
- Von Decastello and Sturli discovered blood type AB.
- Bernstein described the first theory of ABO inheritance, following Mendelian genetics.
ABO Blood Typing Discrepancies
- Errors in blood typing can lead to fatal or very serious complications.
- Proper technique and careful review are critical.
Importance of Blood Subgroups
- Accurate blood typing and crossmatching are essential in blood transfusions to avoid serious complications.
- Discrepancies need resolving to ensure correct blood type is used.
