Nothing. O blood is the universal donor, which means any blood type can get O blood in a transfusion. Although this is true blood type O can only receive blood type O. This is because Blood type O has no antigens but has both antibodies A and B.
The person's body will immediately begin destroying the B blood cells, causing shock and possibly even death. People carry naturally occurring antibodies to A or B antigens if they are not that type, which react strongly with transfused blood to destroy it.
No...someone with a B blood type has anti-A antibodies so the A blood type in the AB blood would cause clotting.
It is because o blood group has antibody A an B
A person with type B blood can only receive type B or O because it is said to be compatible and will not clump.
to blood group B and AB.
A person who is B positive will have B antigens on their red blood cells and anti-A antibodies in their plasma. This blood type is compatible for transfusion with B positive, B negative, O positive, and O negative blood types.
People with type A blood have A antigens on their blood cells and anti-B antibodies floating throughout their blood. People with type B blood however have B antigens and anti-A antibodies. When the type A person receives a transfusion from the type B person, the anti-B antibodies will attack the incoming B antigen laced blood cells, marking it for removal by the rest of the immune system.
true
Nothing will happen. People with type AB blood can receive all types of blood (AB, A, B, O)
If this happens, antibodies that the patient already has in his or her blood will attack the donor red blood cells and destroy them. This could cause fever, chills, chest or back pain.
Since a patient with Type B blood has B antigens on their RBC's and since Type O blood has both anti-A and anti-B antibodies present in the blood plasma, the donor blood needs to be treated before transfusion. The Type O blood needs to be separated into packed cells and plasma, usually done by centrifuge, and only the packed cells should be used for the transfusion. Remember the anti-B antibodies are present in the Type O blood plasma and could cause serious damage in the system of a patient with Type B blood.
An acute hemolytic transfusion reaction, with possible acute renal failure and death.
