The second most prevalent blood group in India is B positive. Therefore we see that the most common blood group in India is O positive. Here is the average blood type distribution in the Indian population: Humans are believed to have evolved from a similar ancestor. An individual with O-negative blood group is a universal donor as O-negative blood can be. A reader asked us a related question on what are the most commonly found blood groups in the Indian population? Today we will discuss the same.īecause blood type is a trait that is genetically determined - blood types tend to show prevalence in a geographic area. &0183 &32 Most humans have RH positive blood, meaning they carry a gene originating from the rhesus monkey. O-negative blood group is reasonably unusual compared to other blood groups and may cause some problems. Yesterday we published an article about the world’s rarest blood type. Lacking Rh factor can leadto problems especially in cases where blood transfusion or organ transplant is needed urgently. The remaining 85 are Rh positive, making them more favorable. In reference to whole of the world’s population, only about 15 lack the rhesus factor. These four blood groups are found in two versions - positive and negative. &0183 &32 Rh negative blood type is rare. If none of these is antigens is present on the RBC surface, blood type will be O.In case both these antigens are present, blood type will be AB.If antigen B is present on the RBC surface, blood type will be B.If antigen A is present on the RBC surface, blood type will be A.It is based on the antigens (proteins) found on the surface of RBCs. The most widely used blood categorization system is called the ABO system.
45% of the blood is made up of the Red Blood Cells (RBC) and 55% is plasma. Its flow in our circulatory system makes our life possible.
