Abstract :

The total hemoglobin content in different ABO blood groups in healthy adults has been conflicting. This study was undertaken to find out the possible differences in the total hemoglobin content in health adults in ABO blood groups. Eighty health students were included in this study. The hemoglobin content was measured by Sahli’s method and ABO blood group typing along with Rh D typing was carried out in all the students. The mean age of the students was 19.91 years with 60% being males. There was no difference in the hemoglobin contents in males and females students. Blood groups A, B, AB and O was reported in 15 (18.75%), 22 (27.5%), 5 (6.25%) and 38 (47.5%) healthy students respectively. There was no significance difference was observed in the mean hemoglobin content in four ABO blood groups
