Abstract
A, B, O, and Rhesus incompatibility can be the reason for Haemolytic Disease in New-born, transfusion reactions, autoimmune haemolytic anaemia, and further conditions like Ischemic or Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation which can result in intravascular haemolysis. Aim: This study aims to determine the prevalence of ABO and Rhesus typing of voluntary blood donors at Sas Nagar Mohali. This was a Retrospective study at SAS Nagar Mohali Blood Bank. The present study's data was collected from January 2022 to July 2023. ABO and Rh typing were determined using forward (cell) and reverse (serum) grouping. The frequency of blood group A was 1590 (23.7%), Blood Group B was 2425 (36.16%), Blood group AB was 625 (9.32%), and Blood Group O was 2064(30.78%). The Rh-positive was 6192 (92.36%), and the Rh-negative was 511 (7.6%). Most participants were males between 26 and 33 years old and females between 18 and 25. The most common blood group among volunteer blood donors was Group B positive, and the least common was Group AB negative. This data is helpful for Blood Bank inventory and awareness of rare blood groups to ensure an adequate blood supply.
