Augustina Isioma Ikusemoro: ABO Discrepancies in Transfusion Practice
Augustina Isioma Ikusemoro, Hematology and Transfusion Medicine Specialist at Sharjah Blood Transfusion and Research Center, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Abo Discrepancies: When Blood Groups Don’t Behave the Way We Expect
Every transfusion professional has faced that moment:
Forward group says one thing.
Reverse group says another.
And the results don’t match.
That’s an Abo discrepancy – and recognizing its type can make the difference between safe transfusion practice and serious clinical risk.
Why Abo discrepancy recognition matters
Because transfusion safety begins before the blood leaves the blood bank.
Every discrepancy resolved correctly protects:
- trauma patients
- oncology patients
- neonates
- transplant recipients
- and every life that depends on accurate compatibility testing.
In transfusion medicine, details save lives.
If you’re working in a blood bank or transfusion service, tell me:
Which type of Abo discrepancy do you encounter most often in your practice?
