What is a universal donor blood type and how can I find out if I am one?
To find out your blood type you will need to either: A) donate blood and receive a donor's card or B) get a blood typing test.As far as the universal blood type goes type AB positive can donate plasma to any blood type, but O is considered the "universal donor" because it can give red blood cells to any type.
Why anti A of O group not reacting with antigen A of A blood group?
It does react. Thats why you cant give A or AB type blood to a 0 type patient. The anti-A in the plasma will react with the A antigen on the red blood cells of the donor.
Why blood ab is the universal acceptor?
Since the antibodies in blood group AB are absent, the donor's RBC in the recipient's body will not agglutinate because agglutination will occur when the natural antibodies of the pasma of the recipient's body will react with the foriegn antigen.
Can O positive give to A negative?
Definitely not! They are both different types of blood. consult a doctor before you do this. I do believe that O+ blood is universal, although I'm not 100% certain. <><><><><> O- is the universal donor. AB+ is the universal recipient. At least that's true for packed red blood cells. It backwards from that for plasma.
How much blood does a blood donor give in one donation?
About a pint.
Why is O blood called universal donor?
only O negative blood is called the universal donor. This is because people with this blood type have the ability to donate their blood to ANY other blood type. Blood donation is a complex process and only certain types can receive certain types. O neg is the one blood type that can give to anyone (however, they can only RECEIVE from O neg)
A donor with blood type AB can give blood to someone else with any other blood type?
No. You would have to be a O blood type. That is the "universal" blood donor. The best kind.
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.
Which blood group should be of a donor to a patient who is 'O' negative?
A person who is O- can only accept blood from another O- person, but they are the universal donor, and can give their blood to anyone.
Why can a person with type O blood give to others?
universal donor
What does it mean to have blood type O positive?
