"As of 2019, a total of 41 human blood group systems are recognized by the International Society of Blood Transfusion (ISBT)"

at line 15 is inconsistent with

"38 major human systems are identified as of August 2019" at line 11 of the latter article.

I'm requesting help with updating this info in both articles — CrafterNova  ^{[ TALK ]  [ CONT ]} 19:47, 11 February 2022 (UTC) reply

In the section entitled “Blood typing”, the third sentence starts “In these tests…” but it discusses a different test from the first two sentences. It seems there are tests other than agglutination, and should be mentioned between the second and third sentences, but are not. FloydW ( talk) 21:12, 6 November 2022 (UTC) reply

That sentence seems to have been left over from this edit, which (correctly IMO) removed information about an experimental test cited to a primary source. I've removed it. Spicy ( talk) 21:22, 6 November 2022 (UTC) reply
