Organ DonationThat depends, if your blood type is AB than then it doesn't mater. If the donors blood type is O than yours doesn't matter. If you are a B than the donor must have a O an AB or a B blood type. If yourblood type is A then the donors blood type must be O,AB or B. However ALWAYS talk to a doctor and ask lots of questions in order to insure your safety.

What is the difference between a blood donor and a recipient?

A blood donor is an individual who gives blood voluntarily for transfusion to another person in need, while a blood recipient is someone who receives the donated blood during a transfusion procedure to treat a medical condition or injury. Donors provide the blood, while recipients receive it for medical treatment.

How can you change your organ donor status if don't want to be a organ donor anymore?

To change your organ donor status, you typically need to update your preferences through your state's donor registry or Department of Motor Vehicles. You can also communicate your decision with your family and ensure they are aware of your wishes. If you previously registered as an organ donor, you may need to follow specific procedures to remove yourself from the registry.


Does donor blood type matter in stem cell transplant?

Yes, donor blood type does matter in stem cell transplant. The donor and recipient should ideally have matching blood types to reduce the risk of complications such as graft-versus-host disease. ABO blood group compatibility is important in determining the suitability of a donor for a stem cell transplant. In addition to blood type, other factors such as tissue matching (HLA typing) are also crucial for a successful transplant.


Someone who recieves an organ or tissue?

A person who receives an organ or tissue is referred to as a transplant recipient. This individual undergoes surgery to have the donated organ or tissue transplanted into their body to replace a damaged or failing organ. Following the transplant, recipients require ongoing medical care and may need to take immunosuppressant medications to prevent rejection of the transplant.

Can anyone donate an organ to anyone else?

In the UK, legally yes. These days (living) donors can be altruistic strangers, or friends / acquaintances of the recipient (whereas they used to have to be related to or married to the recipient). However medically, no, because the donor would need to have a compatible blood group to the recipient. For kidney donation, tissue (HLA) matching is also necessary, which is a far stricter criteria than just blood group matching. In most cases, HLA matches will be related to the recipient, due to sharing of genetics. For a living donation of part of a liver, the blood group matching is necessary, tissue matching is not, and the donor would need to be at least as big (if not bigger) than the recipient.


What blood type do you need to be to donate organs?

Why are organ donation used?

Organ donation is the transfer of an organ or tissue from a donor to a recipient. It may be a heart, lung, kidney, liver, thymus, intestine, or tissues like bone, tendons or heart valves. It is used to replace a damaged or absent organ in order to prevent death, or to improve the quality of life for the recipient. It may be used to treat cystic fibrosis, COPD, heart failure, among many others.

What will happen if blood group A is transmitted to blood group O?

They don't..."mix". They are not compatible. Your body would reject it. This would happen with anything (e.g. blood group A transmitted to B, B to O, O to A). Type O- blood is considered the "universal donor" because it can be donated to people of any blood type. Type AB+ blood is considered the "universal recipient" because people with this type can receive any blood type.

Why do you need artificial hearts?

B/c there aren't enough organ donors to supply the need for donor hearts.


Why are Universal donor and universal recipient are not really correct term?

universal donor is blood type O because this blood type don't have antigen and it can be donated in the patient having any king of blood type while universal recipient is blood type AB because it does not have anti- body; blood type AB can receive any kind of blood type
