Is O positive blood universal blood?
No. O negative is the universal donor.
is A positive blood a universal donor type?
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.
Which blood type is the universal blood type?
Type O negative blood is a universal donor blood type. In normal circumstances, anyone can receive type O negative blood in a transfusion. When it comes to plasma donation, type AB positive is a universal donor.
Why is type A blood considered the universal donor?
