It depends on what you mean by "blood". If you mean Red Blood Cells, it is due to somthing called antigens.
Type O has IgM anti-A antibodies and anti-B antibodies in blood serum, and this would "attack" blood that had A or B antibodies. Since AB has both, it cannot donate to O, and O can only receive O.
With regards to Blood Plasma however, AB can donate to any group, including O.
Blood type A can receive a transfusion from blood types A and AB.
No...someone with a B blood type has anti-A antibodies so the A blood type in the AB blood would cause clotting.
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.
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.
A blood transfusion is typically considered necessary when a person's blood levels are too low, either due to illness, injury, or surgery. This is determined by measuring the person's hemoglobin and hematocrit levels, as well as assessing their symptoms and overall health. If these levels are below a certain threshold or if the person is experiencing symptoms of anemia, a blood transfusion may be recommended by a healthcare provider.
blood transfusion :)
No. Not for red cell transfusion.
Blood type A can receive a transfusion from blood types A and AB.
A person who can receive any blood type during a blood transfusion.
Type A
No, an O negative person cannot receive B positive platelets in a transfusion. Blood types must be compatible to prevent adverse reactions. O negative individuals can only receive O negative blood products.
It is because o blood group has antibody A an B
If you receive a blood transfusion, you are under no obligation to "return" (or "donate") any blood to back the blood bank. This is true both before and after receiving a blood transfusion - i.e you do not have to have donated blood previously, before you can have a transfusion. (At least, this is how it works in the UK). Nice to know, really.
No, you can only receive your blood type when you get a blood transfusion.
No. Persons with type O blood can only receive type O blood.
A person with type B blood can only receive type B or O because it is said to be compatible and will not clump.
O negative can be given to a person with any bloodtype, but if possible it is better for a person requiring transfusion to be given blood matching their own bloodtype.
