The Black Cochin Jewish population has a high percentage of Rh-negative blood but the Rh-negative blood type is uncommon in the Black population in general, which is exactly the same interesting phenomenon as with the Oriental Jews of Israel who have a high percentage of Rh-negative blood, where among the Chinese and Japanese, Rh-negative blood type it is almost nonexistent.

Can Rh antibodies of Rh- be detected?

A person who is Rh negative may have antibodies if he or she has been exposed in the past to Rh positive blood. Rhogam will prevent this sensitization in a pregnant woman with negative blood carrying an Rh positive baby.

Can a positive parents have o negative child?

No, it can't happen. if one of the parents or both are +, the child will be Positive. I don't know if 2 negatives can have a positive. But i do know that if one of the parents is positive and the other is negative, you can have a either a positive or negative child. (I have twins, one is negative and the other is positive.)


Can a rh negative child be born from parents who neither are rh negative?

Yes, an Rh negative child can be born to parents that are both Rh Positive. Each person carries two alleles or genes for the Rh factor. To be a negative you must have a double negative (-/-) since being Rh negative simply means that you do not have the Rh factor. If the two alleles of a person are positive and positive (+/+) then they are obviously positive. But if the are (+/-) they are still considered Rh Positive. The Rh factor is there, no matter what the strength. So as long as both parents are (+/-), they can both donate a negative gene to give their offspring a negative/negative (-/-) and make them Rh Negative. Aside from doing genetic testing, there is no way to easily test whether or not a person is (+/-) or (+/+). That can not be determined from normal blood typing.

What is Rh positive and Rh negative mean?

Rh factor is a protein that is found in the blood of about 85% of the population. Those who have the factor are Rh positive, while those who don't, are Rh negative. A person who is Rh negative can safely donate blood to persons with or without the protein. A person who is Rh positive can only donate to those who are Rh positive.


Can a negative donate blood to A positive?

No, an O Positive person cannot donate to an A Negative person because the person who is Negative, or Rh Negative, will react to the Positive (Rh Positive) blood. Negative can only get Negative, Positive can get Positive or Negative.


Rh positive mother a positive baby?

If a person has the Rh factor, then they are positive. If they don't have the Rh factor, they are negative. The Rh factor is dominant, so a mother with it would have an Rh positive baby even if the father is negative for the Rh factor.


Can a person with o neg blood give blood to a rh neg person?

The negative in "O Negative" means that it's Rh negative, meaning that anyone, either positive or negative can receive that Rh type. O negative blood can be given to anyone. It's the Universal Donor.


Why do rh positive parents have an rh negative baby?

Each person carries two bits of rh imformation, called alleles, and each can be positive or negative. A person is rh+ if they have at least one positive allele. Only if both their alleles are negative are they considered as rh-. When two parents have a baby, they each pass one allele on. So if both parent has one positive and one negative allele, and both passed on their negative allele to their baby, then the baby would be rh negative. The chances of two rh positive parents having a rh negative baby are about 18%.


Can Rh antibodies of Rh- be detected?

A person who is Rh negative may have antibodies if he or she has been exposed in the past to Rh positive blood. Rhogam will prevent this sensitization in a pregnant woman with negative blood carrying an Rh positive baby.


Will an Rh negative person who receives Rh positive blood for the first time have a transfusion reaction?

no.


Why cant a woman that is rh negative donate blood?

This not entirely true while an Rh- person can not receive Rh+ blood due to the fact as stated above an Rh+ person can receive Rh- blood because there is no Rh in the blood. This is why O- people are universal donors meaning they are able to give blood to anyone, but can only receive 0- blood.


What types of blood can a person with Type A receive?

Consideration must be given to whether or not the person is Rh positive or Rh negative. A person with blood type A positivecan receive A positive, A negative, O positiveand O negative blood. A person with A negative blood can only receive A negative and O negative blood.
