In humans, blood groups are divided into many types and each type has its own characteristics. If the blood group is not properly transfused, it can disrupt the structure of the blood vessels, endangering the life of the person receiving the blood. The following article will help you better understand the characteristics of blood groups and how to classify them.

Human blood is divided into many groups and each blood group has its own characteristics, the structure of blood vessels can be broken if the blood group is not compatible with each other. To ensure safety during blood transfusion, it is necessary to follow the basic principles of blood transfusion.

The Rhesus (Rh) factor is an inherited protein found on the surface of red blood cells. If your blood has this protein, it is considered Rh positive, and if it does not, it is Rh negative.

While most human blood is made up of the same basic components, scientists have discovered that there are many different types of blood. There are eight different blood types, and these are determined by the genes you inherit from your parents.

You may have heard of the four basic blood types: A, AB, B, and O, and the positive or negative variations of these blood types. But did you know that these four types can be divided into many different blood types?

Blood group AB is one of the rare blood groups, characterized by both A and B antigens on red blood cells and no antibodies in the plasma.

There are many blood types in the population including ABO, Rh, Kidd, Kell, etc. The most important of these are ABO and RhD. Transfusion of ABO incompatible blood can lead to serious and potentially fatal transfusion reactions. So if you have blood type B, which blood types can type B blood be given to, and why?

Determining the patient's blood type before donating or receiving blood is extremely necessary and important. Currently, determining the ABO/Rh blood type by test tube technique is the most commonly used method of determining blood type.

Blood type is one of the biological characteristics of humans, determined by genes. The two most commonly used blood group systems are ABO and Rh. The ABO blood group system includes four blood groups: A, B, O, and AB. The Rh blood group system has two main blood groups: RhD positive and RhD negative.

Blood transfusion is an effective and frequently prescribed treatment for anemic patients in all medical departments, especially patients with acute blood loss. In some cases such as obstetric complications or surgical procedures, large-scale blood transfusion is necessary but also brings certain risks and complications of blood transfusion.

The ABO blood group system is one of the two most important blood group systems in blood transfusion. The ABO blood group system consists of four blood groups: A, B, O and AB, with different distribution rates in the community for each race. In Vietnam, these rates are: group O is about 45%, group B is about 30%, group A is about 20% and group AB is about 5%.
