Üçüncü Basamak Bir Hastanedeki Donör/Hastaların Kan Gruplarının Dağılımı

Abstract

Objective: To demonstrate the distribution of ABO, and Rh blood groups in the blood, and blood products donated by volunteered blood donors living in Sakarya Province in Turkey. Methods: Data of blood, and blood products donated by volunteered blood donors who presented to Sakarya University between January 2009, and September 2013 were retrospectively analyzed. Blood typing was performed with EDTA-added blood samples using tube agglutination method, and gel card agglutination techniques in an automated blood grouping device. Results: According to our results distribution of blood groups among our study participants was as follows:0 Rh(+) 30.2%; 0 Rh(-) 5.6%; A Rh(+) , 38.1%; A Rh(-), 6.2%; B Rh(+),10.5%; B Rh(-), 2.1%; AB Rh(+), 6.2%, and AB Rh(-), 1.3% . In our study blood typing results without considering Rh factor were detected in respective percentages of patients were as follows: A ,44.3%; 0, 35.7%; B, 12.5%, and AB, 7.5%. Rates of Rh (+) (84.9%), and Rh (-) (15.1%) were also calculated as indicated. Conclusion: Generally, in compliance with data in Turkey, in our study blood group A had a markedly higher while rates of blood groups B, and AB had the lowest incidence rates. We think that this study will contribute to the establishment of databank of Distribution of Blood Groups in Turkey.
