Introduction to Blood Groups
- Definition: Blood groups are classification systems that categorize blood based on the presence or absence of specific antigens on the surface of red blood cells.
- Importance of blood groups in transfusion medicine
- History of blood group discovery
ABO Blood Group System
- Antigens and Antibodies
- A antigen and anti-A antibody
- B antigen and anti-B antibody
- Blood Types
- Type A (A antigen)
- Type B (B antigen)
- Type AB (both A and B antigens)
- Type O (neither A nor B antigen)
- Inheritance of ABO Blood Group
- Autosomal dominant inheritance
- Genotypes and phenotypes
Rh Blood Group System
- Rh Antigens
- RhD antigen
- RhC and RhE antigens
- Rh Blood Types
- Rh positive (RhD antigen present)
- Rh negative (RhD antigen absent)
- Inheritance of Rh Blood Group
- Autosomal dominant inheritance
- Genotypes and phenotypes
Other Blood Group Systems
- Kell Blood Group System
- K1 and K2 antigens
- Kell blood types
- Duffy Blood Group System
- Fya and Fyb antigens
- Duffy blood types
- MNS Blood Group System
- M and N antigens
- MNS blood types
- P Blood Group System
- P1 and P2 antigens
- P blood types
Clinical Relevance of Blood Groups
- Blood Transfusion
- Importance of blood group matching
- Consequences of mismatched transfusion
- Pregnancy and Blood Groups
- Hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN)
- Prevention of HDN
- Forensic Medicine and Blood Groups
- Use of blood groups in forensic analysis
- Determination of paternity
This mind map provides a comprehensive overview of blood groups, including the ABO and Rh blood group systems, other blood group systems, and the clinical relevance of blood groups in transfusion medicine, pregnancy, and forensic medicine
