A person with A-type can also donate to someone with AB-type as well, provided there is no conflict with any other bloodtyping (rhesus positive or negative being the major one). This is because antibodies on the blood cells in the donor are treated as invaders if they are not the right type. The recipient's body then acts in the same way as it would when fighting off a normal virus or invader; they attack the foreign cells and this creates clots throughout the circulatory system. This poses serious risks to the recipient, as they can block the arteries and veins and cause hypoxia and anaemia, as well as heart problems with life at major risk.
Each blood type has it's identifying proteins, and will reject blood with the wrong proteins. Type A blood is anti-B, type B blood is anti-A, type O blood has both, and type AB blood has neither. Imagine if someone with AB blood tried to donate to someone with A. AB blood has identifying proteins A and B. The type A blood would recognize the B proteins and kill the cells. The same thing would happen with B, which would recognize the A proteins and kill the cells. Type O blood would recognize and reject both the A and B proteins and reject them. However, if someone who is type AB gives to AB people, their blood does not destroy neither protein A nor B, so it would accept it.
Since Type AB red cells have both A & B membrane bound sugars, transfusion into recipients other than type AB would trigger an acute hemolytic transfusion reaction, leading to renal failure and possible death.
Type AB blood donors may provide whole blood or red cells to AB recipients (respective for Rh compatibility), platelets to any recipient (also respecting for Rh compatibility) and fresh frozen plasma to any recipient (Rh is of no concern with FFP).
A person with A negative blood can donate blood to a person with A negative blood and a person with AB negative blood.
no because AB only can donate to AB.
Blood type AB can only donate to another AB type. Blood type O+ can be given to anyone, but a blood type like A or B or AB can only be donated to a person who has the same exact blood type as the person who is donating their blood.
Group "O" can donate blood to all other groups but can receive back only from "O" group.
Yes. A person with blood group antibody B can not donate blood to another person with group A because it will agglutinates as they blood group A can only be donated to to a person with blood group A. Even though you donate whole blood, all of it is not given unless you both have the exact blood type. A person with A type (who has B antibodies in their plasma) will only donate their cells. No antibodies will be given. So AB can be given A but without the plasma which has the antibodies.
No, an O Positive person cannot donate to an A Negative person because the person who is Negative, or Rh Negative, will react to the Positive (Rh Positive) blood. Negative can only get Negative, Positive can get Positive or Negative.
A person with type A blood can donate blood to a person with type A or type AB. A person with type B blood can donate blood to a person with type B or type AB. A person with type AB blood can donate blood to a person with type AB only. A person with type O blood can donate to anyone. A person with type A blood can receive blood from a person with type A or type O. A person with type B blood can receive blood from a person with type B or type O. A person with type AB blood can receive blood from anyone. A person with type O blood can receive blood from a person with type O. hope this helps, #JC# http://www.fi.edu/learn/heart/blood/types.html
only o i believe, but o can go to ANY other blood type. :) hope this helps but u might wanna check mi answer. sry if its wrong. jus tryna helpp. :D
Well blood type O+ can be given to anyone, but they can only receive their blood type. And O+ blood can be combined with certain materials that are found in A type or B type to make it another blood type. And people with a blood type of A or B or AB can only give their blood to people who have the same exact blood type as them.
because it have both atibodies a and b so cannot be donated to blood group a,b,o
Type A blood can only be donated to others with Type A blood or AB blood.
A person with Type O can donate to any other blood type, but can only receive blood from another Type O person. A person having blood group O (with absence of Rh-factor) only can donate his blood to any other individual. Rh or Antigen-D is a factor which decides the positivity or negativity of the blood, so the blood group O-negative is considered the universal donor, as it does not effect any of other blood groups.
