Pre-Transfusion Testing includes (3)
- ABO testing
- Rh Testing
- Antibody Screening and Identification
2 Types of ABO testing
- Forward / Direct
- Reverse / Indirect
Most clinically significant blood group in TRANSFUSION AND TRANSPLANTATION
ABO Blood Group system
Incorrect/Unmatched ABO blood typing can lead to
AIITR
Acute Immediate Immunogenic Transfusion Reaction
Acute Immediate Immunogenic Transfusion Reaction shows
Hemolysis of RBC within 24hrs; liver damage/ death
ABO blood group is unique since it is a blood group system in which antibody is
formed by the individual against ANTIGEN THAT IS NOT FOUND ON THE RBC
ABO genes are located in
Chromosome 9’s long arm
He explained the manner of inheritance of the ABO
genes in the long arm of chromosome 9
Bernstein, 1924
each parent contributes half of the genetic information to the child in the unit called
“gene”
50% haplotype comes from the mother and the other 50% comes from the father. This manner is called
codominance
discovered ABO blood group system in 1901.
Karl Landsteiner
- The antigen of RBC determines the blood type of an individual.
- The corresponding antibody is never found on the patient serum.
- The opposite AB is found on the serum.
LANDSTEINER LAW
Anti-B is the antibody that is found in blood
Type A
Anti-A is the antibody that is found in blood
Type B
ANTI-AB is the antibody that is found in
Type O
No antibody is found in
Type AB
Phenotype will always depend on
genotype
depends on the manner of inheritance
Genotype
