Abstract

This study was aimed at evaluating the effect of ABO blood groups on biochemical markers of kidney function in healthy adult. A total of seventy (n=70) adult of both sexes were recruited into the study. All participants were assumed healthy provided they have not been on medication for a period of two weeks prior to their recruitment. Biochemical markers assessed are kidney function tests such as urea, uric acid, creatinine and total protein assay was also carried out. Blood group O has the highest frequency of 42 %, while AB has the lowest frequency of 12.9 %. The kidney function test the activity of creatinine and urea increased significantly (p< 0.05) decreased significantly in blood group A and O in blood group. Creatinine and urea may be an indicator of health status with respect to ABO blood group. This study emphasizes those participants with blood group A are of a good advantage of healthy status with respect to kidney function biomarkers.
