Red blood cells (RBC) have different surface protein's (antigens) such as a person with blood group B will have B antigens on their RBC surface. someone with blood group B will the have antibodies in their plasma that attack A antigens. this reaction between the antibodies and antigen is that dangerous if only 10ml of the wrong blood enters the body, it is fatal.
Here are some combinations of blood types that can be donated to different blood types.
AB+; ALL BLOOD TYPES.
AB-; ALL NEGATIVE GROUPS
B+; B+, B-, O- AND O+
B-; B- AND O-
A+; A+, O+, A- AND O-
O+; O+ AND O-
O-; O- ONLY
so those with blood group O- are most at risk if anything is to go wrong, hospitals run vigorous training session to insure that mistakes never happen, if something is to go wrong, the person that was responsible would be likely to lose their job unless proven that it was not their fault.
Yes. Failure to do so can result in death
If the blood types do not match, you run the risk of toxicity.
o+and ab+match
Acute immune hemolytic reaction
If you get a blood transfusion and the blood does not match then the blood is most likely to clump. This is because your white blood cells detects an unknown substance within your body and thinks that the blood is a virus. The reason is because your body has no idea what it is and it is not compatible with the blood you have. You would most likely end up dying. My experience: Science class blood chapter
It is important because if you ever needed a blood transfusion or organ transplant it will help get the best match to you. If you are given the wrong type there could be problems afterwards.
I assume you are meaning in a transfusion. The ideal blood should be a perfect match. A positive should get A positive. In an emergency an A positive can receive any blood that has no B genotype. O+/-, A+/-,but NO B or AB.
Those groups do not match. They trend to cogulate
It can if enough of the antigens (protein markers that determine blood type) match. If someone is O Negative and preferably negative on a few other antigen, then they are considered a universal donor.
Blood transfusions are when you have blood in a bag and you receive that blood because you have lost a lot of blood and you need to make up for that blood. When you have a blood transfusion you have to have a certain type of blood because of what blood type you are.BLOOD TRANSFUSION:Matching of blood is very important during blood transfusion. persons having blood group A cannot donate his blood to a person having blood group B. because the plasama of blod group B contains antibodies A. It will attack at once on the antigens A. the recipient can die of this effect. so it is necessary that the blood groups of the donar and the recipient should match each other. It is imporatnt to note that a person having blood group O contain no antigens on its RBC. therefore it can be donated to any type of blood is cosidered to be the universal donar.On the contrary blood group AB is considered to be the universal recipient as it contains no antibodies in his blood plasma and will not react to any type of blood it receives.A blood transfusion is when a person receives blood from someone else, usually from a close relative. You'd want to receive blood from a close relative to prevent tissue rejection, when your immune system tries to destroy foreign blood that's unidentical to your blood.

Actually blood group of a person is determined by the antigens(A special protein) present on the surface of all the red blood corpuscels(RBCs) in the body.The body's antibodies do not effect the RBCs of the same type but RBCs with any other type of antigen are attacked by the antibodies and immediately sticking of RBCs begins(called agglutination) causing a great risk to the life of the patient.Threfore, care is taken to match the blood groups of donor and recipient during blood transfusion.
