Journal Title: International Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Introduction and Objective Diabetes mellitus DM is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion insulin action or both After discovery of ABO human blood group system by Landsteiner many researchers had tried to correlate between ABO phenotype and disease susceptibility Many reports have appeared in recent past suggesting an association between blood groups and DM but published literature has produced conflicting results The objective of the present study is to estimate the prevalence of ABO and Rh D blood group type among diabetics attending tertiary care teaching hospitalMaterials and Methods With institutional ethical committee approval and permission from Medical Director we collected data of diabetic patients from medical records section for a 12 months period from 1st Jan 2015 to 31st Dec 2015 Study design was descriptive and retrospective Data of ABO and Rh D blood groups were represented in simple number and percentage distributionResults A total of 1038 diabetic patients medical records were collected during the study period for ABO grouping and Rh D typing Out of these 5934 were males and Rh D positive was seen in 9556 The frequency of blood groups O A B AB was 3236 2995 2928 and 837 respectively The most prevalent blood group in both males and females was O and least prevalent was AB blood groupConclusion Our study findings suggested DM was more frequently seen in individuals with blood group O and these individuals should be closely monitored by the treating physicians The trend of observed prevalent percentage of blood groups for DM was OABABKeywords ABO blood groups Rh D typing Diabetes Tertiary care hospital Retrospective
