Is blood type O a universal recipient?
People with blood type O are universal donors, not universal recipients.
Can Universal donors receive blood groups A B Ab and O?
no donors can only receive o-
If an individual is transfused with the wrong type blood the recipients antibodies react with the donors antigens eventually clumping and hemolyzing the donated RBC?
true
If blood recipients are charged shouldn't donors be compensated?
There are some places that will pay small amounts of money for blood. This is not what is otherwise known as "bloodmonsy". On the other hand, blood donors are not forced to give blood. They give blood knowing they will not be compensated. If you don't want to give blood without being paid for it, then don't give it. It's ok.
Where is a chart of blood type donors and recipients?
I would say you can ask your doctor or get one from where you give blood at. You can also go to the online donor sites and find one that you could print out.
Is blood type B positive a universal donor or recipient?
No, any type B blood types including B positive are not universal donors or universal recipients. Type O is the universal donor as it has neither A nor B antigen on the red cells. Type O blood donors can donate blood to anyone. Type AB is the universal recipient type and can receive blood from all blood types.
A person with type AB blood can give blood to someone with any other blood type?
Nope. People with AB blood are universal recipients, which means they can get blood from any donor. People with blood type O are universal donors, they can give blood to people of all other blood types.
How are blood donors screened?
Blood donors are questioned about their general health, their lifestyle, and any medical conditions that might disqualify them as donors.
What is special about typeAB blood?
AB blood types can receive blood from any donors, also known as "Universal Recipients". Your blood, however, can only be received by other AB types. To contrast, type O blood types can give blood to anyone, but can only receive type O blood.
If I have type O blood would I be a universal Donor, or recipient?
People who have type O blood are universal donors, but not universal recipients. They can donate to anyone, but can only receive blood from another type O person. This is why type O blood is always in great demand by blood banks.
Why does a donors bone marrow have to be the same as the recipient?
So the recipients body has less chance of rejecting it.
Is a universal blood donor also a universal organ donor?
No. The blood type is one factor considered in matching transplant donors and recipients in some transplants. Most types of transplant use another system of tissue typing.
