Identification and Clinical Analysis of a Rare AB Subtype Blood Group in an Anemic Patient
The patient presented with a six-month history of exertional dyspnea and chest tightness
which had exacerbated over the past two weeks
accompanied by an anemic appearance. Based on the clinical history
electrocardiogram
gynecological ultrasound
and laboratory findings (including complete blood count and iron studies)
the patient was diagnosed with iron-deficiency anemia
sinus tachycardia
grade 2 hypertension (very high risk)
hyperlipidemia
and uterine fibroids. During the blood grouping process
the patient’s red blood cells exhibited weakened reactivity with anti-B antibodies. Given the absence of prior blood transfusions
transplants
hematologic malignancies (such as leukemia)
or specific medication history
an ABO subgroup was suspected and subsequently confirmed as an AB subgroup through further identification. Considering that allogeneic transfusion should be approached with extreme caution in patients with ABO subgroups and that the anemia was primarily iron-deficient in nature
iron supplementation was administered. The patient remained clinically stable with no significant adverse symptoms following treatment.
