The Kell family of antigens found on red blood cells have been associated with hemolytic transfusion reactions and with hemolytic disease. Individuals lacking a specific Kell antigen and having a blood transfusion may experience destruction of the new cells by hemolysis. To avoid this, they must be transfused with blood from donors who are also K0. Autoimmune hemolytic anemia may also occur when the body produces an antibody against a K blood group antigen on its own red blood cells, leading to destruction of the red blood cells with resulting anemia.

What if your blood group is O RH positive Kell Neg?
YOu are universal donater, you can donate blood to a, b and ab positive blood groups.
My blood group is o positive kel negative is this rare?
In the ABO blood system, type O positive blood is common, about 36% of the population. 90% of the population is Kell negative. So no, it is not rare.
What type of blood has anti-k blood?
Apparently, the Kell blood group system is separate from the ABO and Rh blood groups. The Kell blood group can also trigger immune reactions. According to nih.gov, "Antibodies that target Kell antigens can cause transfusion reactions and hemolytic disease of the newborn (HDN). In the case of HDN, ABO and Rh incompatibility are more common causes. However, disease caused by maternal anti-ABO tends to be mild, and disease caused by maternal anti-Rh can largely be prevented. The infrequent cases of HDN caused by Kell immunization tend to result in severe fetal anemia because maternal anti-Kell target fetal red blood cell (RBC) precursors, suppressing the fetal production of RBCs."
If one parent is A positive and the other is O positive what possible blood types?
AO positive is the only possible blood type.
Can a man with ab negative blood and a mother with o positive blood have a son with a positive blood?
there is a 50% chance of this
What kell type blood can a kell positive person receive?
Any. Being Kell positive, they will not form an antibody to an antigen their body possesses. The person can receive Kell pos or neg blood.
What if your blood group is O RH positive Kell Neg?
YOu are universal donater, you can donate blood to a, b and ab positive blood groups.
Did Henry VIII have Kell's disease?
There is no "Kell's disease". However, a theory that Henry VIII had a Kell positive blood type and the attendant complication of McLeod's syndrome was published in The Historical Journal.

Does lobster have blood?
It is clear fluid that is edible if cooked.
What is the kell antigen?
The Kell Antigen system is a system of antigens on the surface of human's red blood cells. The antigens are the distinguishing factor in the human blood type and also important for the immunology of the human body.
Your blood type is B positive and your husbands blood type is AB positive and your son is O positive What does this mean?
IT MEANS NOTHING ITS COMMON TO HAVE DIFFERENT BLOOD TYPES!

What does weak positive pregnancy blood test mean?
weak pregnancy blood test mean the pregnancy is liable to abort
What does it mean when a newborn has b positive blood?
If a newborn has B positive blood, it means his blood has the B antigen and is Rh positive. There are 4 blood types: A, B, AB, and O. There are two Rh types Rh positive, Rh positive and Rh negative. That simply means what type of blood the baby would receive if it needed a transfusion.
What does it mean if someone is A positive?
It means that their blood type is A+ (A Positive). Human blood is divided into several different groups based on unique antigen substances, found on red blood cells.
What does it mean if you have o positive blood?
If you have O+ blood then you have the most common blood type. About half the world population has that type.
