No. There are 4 basic blood types: A, B, AB, and O O can be given to any of the above types HOWEVER the second factor in blood donation is the Rh factor. When a blood is said to be either - or + it is describing whither the blood does or does not have Rh antibodies in it. (An person with O+ blood has Rh antibodies) The only people that can get a + blood type are those who have a + blood type themselves. If a person who has a - blood type receives a + blood transfusion the body's immune system will see the Rh antibodies as invaders and try to attack the cells causing an inflammatory response by the body and the person can die. Therefore a person who is B- cannot receive O+ blood. O- is the "universal donor" because ANY blood type regardless of type or Rh status can receive that donor.

∙ 15y agoNo. "Positive" blood groups have something in them that "negative" blood groups do not have. So if they were to give blood to the "negative" groups, it would be like introducing a foreign substance into the blood stream. O- people can give blood to any group, and AB+ can accept blood from any group.

∙ 11y agoNo. The body will reject organs with an opposing Rh factor.

Is negative blood compatible wiyh positive blood?
Negative blood can be given to someone with positive blood. Positive blood CANNOT be given to someone with negative blood.
What blood group is given to someone who is RH negative blood group A?
You would give them A Rh Negative blood or you could also give them O Rh Negative as well. Group O is the universal donor so it can be given to anyone. If the patient is Rh Negative, they can only receive Rh Negative blood. If the patient was Rh positive, they can receive Rh positive or Rh negative.
What blood types are compatible for kidney transplant?
* O can be donated to any type, A can be given to both A and AB, B can be given to both B and AB, AB can only be given to AB. * O can only receive O, A can receive A or O, B can receive B or O, AB can receive any. * Rhesus negative can be given to both negative and positive. Positive can only be given to positive. Positive can receive both positive and negative, negative can only receive negative the organ used, and the blood used for transfusion during transplantation, must be from a donor of the same blood type as the patient. There are not blood types which are generallyincompatible with transplant, only those that are incompatible for specific transplants. The patient's blood type is what is important
Which blood type can be given to any patient?
The universal transfusion blood donor type is the "O negative" blood type. The Rh factor (positive or negative) is as important as the ABO blood group. If you gave O positive blood to someone with Rh negative blood, it would cause problems, including the possibility of death.
What is the universal recipient in blood transfusions?
AB positive; a person with rhesus-negative blood can have an adverse reaction if given rhesus-positive blood.
Can a positive blood type be given to a negative blood type?
no it can not because just like water and a brick is different by solid and liquid that way positive and negative blood groups are different
Is it possible for a patient with O- receive O plus blood type?
Yes, it is possible to give O Positive blood to O Negative patients, but it is not likely to happen. Blood Bankers are trained to "match" blood to the person receiving the blood and these two types, while compatible, are not a good "match". The presence of the Rh factor in O Positive blood is likely to cause an immune response when given to a patient that does not have the Rh factor as in Rh Negative blood. The opposite is acceptable. It is perfectly OK to give Rh Negative blood to and Rh Positive person since they will not be getting something they do not already posses.
What types of blood can a person with Type A receive?
Consideration must be given to whether or not the person is Rh positive or Rh negative. A person with blood type A positivecan receive A positive, A negative, O positiveand O negative blood. A person with A negative blood can only receive A negative and O negative blood.
How do blood types interact with each other?
AB positive blood type is known as the universal recipient which means that persons with AB positive blood can recieve transfusions from any blood type, positive or negative. Generally, transfusions of the same blood type or of blood type O can be given. Persons with blood types that are RH positive can be given transfusions of either the positive OR negative subtype, but persons with RH negative blood types can only receive transfusions from other RH negative blood types.
What does plus and - stand for in blood group?
positive and negative stands for either Rhesus Positive or Rhesus negative which means that a persons Red blood cells (RBC) either have D antigens on their cell surface membranes or not. a person who is Rhesus negative will have D Antibodies in the blood plasma and can only be given Rhesus negative blood types in a blood transfusion. Rhesus positive blood types can be given either D+ or D- in a blood transfusion as they have no D antibodies in their blood plasma. hope this helps
Can a mother with B positive and a father with ab negative have a child that is O positive?
No. It is impossible, given those blood types, for the offspring to be O positive.
What type of blood types can receive O?
It depends on what blood component is to be transfused. If O, Rh negative whole blood is to be given, the patient may be O, Rh negative or O, Rh positive. If O, Rh negative red cells are to be transfused, the patient may be any blood type (generally).
