ABSTRACT

ABO and Rh blood group systems are of major clinical significance amongst the thirty (30) human blood group system. The Distribution of ABO, Rh blood grouping and hepatitis B virus among blood donors with National Blood Transfusion Service, Kaduna was carried out. Two hundred voluntary blood donors (200) were used. Questionnaire was used to obtain the respondents’ bio-demographic data. Microplate technique was used for ABO and Rh blood grouping tests and ELISA kit (Monolisa HBsAg ULTRA) for hepatitis B virus test. The results showed that blood group O donors had (47.0%, group A (31.5%), group B (17.0%) and group AB (4.5%).  Rh D positive has (95.0%) and RhD negative (5%).  Reactive hepatitis B (12.5% and non-reactive hepatitis B (87.5%).
