Q

What are the 4 ABO discrepancies?

A

Group 1: Discrepancy that happens between forward and backward grouping due to weakly reacting or missing antibodies

Group 2: Discrepancies are due to weakly reacting or missing antigens

Group 3: Discrepancy due to Protein or Plasma
abnormalities

Group 4: Discrepancy due to unexpected antigen reaction or miscellaneous
