Blood Groups Flashcards
Discovery of blood groups
Karl landsteiner
Antigen or agglutinogens are seen in
RBC
Antibody or agglutinins found in
Plasma
Cause of clumping of blood
Particular antigen and corresponding antibody if together causes clumping
Landsteiners law
1,if antigen is present ,then antibody absent in serum
2,if antigen is absent,then antibody present in serum
(NA to rh factor)
Type of blood used in blood transfusion
Compatible blood
The method of reaction
Antigen of the donor+antibody of recipient
O group no agglutination.why?
No antigen
AB group cause agglutination due to
Absence antibody
Cross matching
*serum of recipient+donor RBC
*if agglutinationnof RBC occurs,blood is not used
Is rh factor an antigen or antibody
Antigen
Which rh antigen is more antigenic
D antigen
With d -rh +ve
Without-d rh-ve
Among Asians how much are 85%and15% rh
+ve 85%
-ve 15%
No natural antibody for D antigen. Comment
Rh-ve and rh +ve blood, anti D forms
Rh+ve and rh-ve blood, no risk
ABO incompatibility
Rh -ve and Rh+ve blood first not much effect
*delayed transfusion results in agglutinin
*2nd time when receiving rh+ve ,severe transfusion occurs
