Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
one clever person says that their are 92 blood groups which can be verify only if I ask to any hemologist, thus just want to know wheather it is true or he is mad?
The International Society of Blood Transfusion currently recognizes 30 blood-group systems (including the ABO and Rh systems). Thus, in addition to the ABO antigens and Rh antigens, many other antigens are expressed on the RBC surface membrane. For example, an individual can be AB, D positive, and at the same time M and N positive (MNS system), K positive (Kell system), Lea or Leb negative (Lewis system), and so on, being positive or negative for each blood group system antigen. Many of the blood group systems were named after the patients in whom the corresponding antibodies were initially encountered.
