Abstract

Background: Blood group is not only a part of identity but also has a crucial role in the field 
of transfusion medicine. The relationship between bleeding time, clotting time and blood 
group is especially relevant in certain clinical conditions like surgery, thrombosis, and 
epistaxis. Several studies have found variations in bleeding tendencies among different ABO 
blood groups.Hence this study was done to find the association of bleeding time and clotting 
time with ABO blood groups.
