it occur due to mismatch of blood. if recipient is denoted wrong type of blood group for example if a recipient have blood group a if he or she have donated blood group b they the anti antigen A present in blood group b will destroy the blood group A this is called clumping of blood.

What is aggultination?
aggulutination is the clumping of particlesThis occurs in biology in three main examples:The clumping of cells such as bacteria or red blood cells in the presence of an antibody. The antibody or other molecule binds multiple particles and joins them, creating a large complex.The coalescing of small particles that are suspended in a solution; these larger masses are then (usually) precipitated.An allergic reaction type occurrence where cells become more compacted together to prevent foreign materials entering them. This is usually the result of an antigen in the vicinity of the cells.
