Type O-negative blood does not have any antigens. It is called the "universal donor" type because it is compatible with any blood type. Type AB-positive blood is called the "universal recipient" type because a person who has it can receive blood of any type.
Although "universal donor" and "universal recipient" types may be used to classify blood in an emergency, blood type tests are always done to prevent transfusion reactions.

∙ 14y agoEven though you can donate blood from a type A to B. There are many factors that may effect a rejection. And usually it is not recommended in a kidney transplant patient, as the amount of transplant is extremely limited and the amount of transplant patient is huge. So a doctor would recommend you get a transplant of the same blood type, or even a close family member.

Can Rh negative patient receive Rh positive plasma?
A Rh negative patient cannot receive Rh positive blood as it will cause a antibody reaction to the donor plasma, but a Rh positive patient can receive Rh negative blood as the donor blood lacks the Rh antibody component. PS the Rh factor is present on Red blood cells and not in Plasma
Is it possible that an Rh negative blood be compatible with an Rh positive in a crossmatching procedure?
In crossmatching you don't actually mix the whole blood samples. You will mix the red blood cells of the donor with the plasma of the patient. So if the patient is Rhesus positive, it wont have antibodies in the plasma against the Rhesus factor on the red blood cells of the donor. So a crossmatch with either a negative or positive donor will be allright. So in this case, it is indeed possible.

How is kidney transplant done?
Based on the source of donated kidney, kidney transplant can be classified as deceased donor or living donor transplant. Answer: To the question of HOW a kidney transplant is done. The donor kidney will be extracted including part of the urinary tract and vein/arteries. The blood is extracted from the kidney and it is flushed clean. Then transported on ice to where the recipient is. The donor kidney is transplanted into the person in their lower abdomen. They join the veins/artery etc to the recipients, having disconnected them from the existing bad kidney. They do not take out the recipients bad kidneys (unless it has tumour) but leaves them there, as no point in performing unnecessary surgery.
