The Universal blood recipient would be somebody who is AB+. This is because they carry both A and B blood types and have a positive Rh factor. This means they can receive A, B, or O blood types of any Rh factor.
On the other hand, a universal donor would be anyone with Type O, Rh negative blood, (a.k.a. O- or O-Neg). Just about anybody can receive O-neg without risking a serious reaction, which is why it is in high-demand in trauma situations where the patient might need stat blood replacement, but there isn't enough time to type and crossmatch.
There is no blood group that is considered as universal recipient. Blood type O individuals are considered to be universal donors.

Type AB POSITIVE is the universal red cell transfusion recipient. For plasma tranfusions, group O is the universal recipient.
Blood group O is known as the "universal donor" because it has no antigens on its red blood cells and can therefore be safely given to any blood group. Blood Group AB is known as the "universal recipient" because it has no antibodies in its plasma and so can safely receive blood from any other blood group.
O Rh- is the universal donor and AB Rh- is the universal recipient of all blood types.
O Rh- is the universal donor and AB Rh- is the universal recipient of all blood types.
type O- blood group AB+ is a universal recipient.
blood type AB=universal blood recipient as it can receive any types ofblood. blood type O=universal blood donor as any types of blood can receivethe O type.
People with AB+ blood can receive blood of any type. This is the reason why AB+ is called the universal recipient.
ABO blood types are inherited through genes on chromosome 9, and they do not change as a result of environmental influences during life. . .(A, B, or O]
O negative is the universal donor because when O+ve blood group is transfused to -ve blood group recipient, antibodies are produced which causes hemolysis of Rh +ve labelled blood cells. When O-ve blood is transfused to Rh +ve recipient, no antibodies are produced as donor blood has no Rh factor present on blood cells, so no transfusion reaction occurs. Thus, O -ve is universal donor.
No such thing. There is blood type: A, B, AB, and O. There are antigens and antibodies to each. O is the universal donor while AB is the universal recipient.
