Transfusion medicine represents one of the emerging branches last century. With discovery isoagglutinin, main proof has been made that blood group inheritance is encoded in genes which established theory four groups. Moreover, presence certain antibodies, later known as Rh factors, directly reflects ability to accept or reject group. Several methods detection factor have used transfusion helps diagnostic procedures. This great importance, especially during pregnancies donation processes.
