Yes, people with type O blood can donate to anyone.
The four blood types are A, B, AB, and O. The universal donor is O and the universal recipient is AB
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.
i would not think so but if you transfer your blood to someone els with an incompatible blood type it could kill them.Donor O-, Recipient compatible with any type.Donor O+, Recipient compatible with O+, A+, B+, AB+; incompatible with O-, A-, B-, AB-.Donor A-, Recipient compatible with A-, A+, AB-, AB+; incompatible with O-, O+, B-, B+.Donor A+, Recipient compatible with A+, AB+; incompatible with O-, O+, A-, B-, B+, AB-.Donor AB-, Recipient compatible with AB-, AB+ onlyDonor AB+, Recipient compatible wit AB+ only.
While type O blood is known as being the universal donor, it is not a universal recipient. Type O blood can be transfused into any other blood type, but someone with type O blood could only receive a transfusion of type O blood.
ab
O Rh- is the universal donor and AB Rh- is the universal recipient of all blood types.
If the recipient has type B blood, they can receive either type B or type O blood. If the donor blood is type B, then the recipient can be either type B or type AB
O Rh- is the universal donor and AB Rh- is the universal recipient of all blood types.
Because the blood cells from the O-group donor have no antigens which would react with the A-antibodies in the recipient.
Any, the recipient must be the same blood type as the donor.
No, to donate blood safely the donor and the recipient have to have the same blood type.
Yes, blood type O is known as the universal donor, but consideration must also be given to whether the donor and recipient are Rhesus compatible.
