National Blood Grouping

National Blood Grouping is a laboratory process that determines a person’s blood type based on the presence of specific antigens on red blood cells—primarily the ABO and Rh factors. This classification helps identify compatible donors and recipients for blood transfusions, ensuring safety. Accurate blood grouping is essential for medical procedures, organ transplants, and managing blood banks. It involves mixing a small blood sample with test sera that contain antibodies; reactions indicate the blood type. Overall, it’s a vital step in promoting safe and effective blood transfusion practices.
