What is type A preferred donor and permissible and incompatible donor?

Type A preferred donor refers to a donor who has the same blood type as the recipient, making them the best match for a blood or organ donation. Permissible donors are those who have compatible blood types with the recipient, while incompatible donors have blood types that would cause a reaction if transplanted.


Who is universal donor in blood grouping?

O negative blood type is the universal donor, but this only applies in terms of ABO grouping and rh classification. There are exceptions, but O- is often used in an emergency situation until the ability to type and crossmatch is provided. Plasma, however, has the opposite consequences. In terms of plasma, AB is the universal donor. The impact is that whole blood must be matched. If you are giving blood components in an emergency situation, it should only be RBC's or plasma.


Why is type A blood considered the universal donor?

No, AB is a universal recipient, and can only be given to other people with type AB blood. O is a universal donor but can only receive O, A can only receive A and can only be given to A and AB, and B can only receive B and be given to B and AB.


Which blood type is theoretically considered the universal donor?

The blood type that is theoretically considered the universal donor is type O. Type O blood does not have any antigens, therefore it is compatible with any blood type.


What blood type is a universal donor and what blood type is a universal receiver?

The universal donor blood type is O negative. This blood type can be given to individuals of any blood type. The universal receiver blood type is AB positive. This blood type can receive blood from individuals of any blood type.

Is blood type B positive a universal donor or recipient?

No, any type B blood types including B positive are not universal donors or universal recipients. Type O is the universal donor as it has neither A nor B antigen on the red cells.

Why blood ab is the universal acceptor?

Since the antibodies in blood group AB are absent, the donor's RBC in the recipient's body will not agglutinate because agglutination will occur when the natural antibodies of the pasma of the recipient's body will react with the foriegn antigen.

The universal recipient blood type is AB positive. This means that their blood carries both A and B antigens meaning that they can receive blood from all four basic blood types.


If a person with type o blood can donate blood for transfusion to which blood types?

Type O blood is the Universal Donor so persons with Type A, B, AB and O can receive blood from an O donor depending upon presence of antigens. Type AB is the universal recipient of all blood types depending on the antigens of course.


What are some risks of blood transfusion?

Incorrect blood-type matching can cause death, unless recipient is universal (ab-) or donor is universal (o+). for more info, research blood types and donor/recipient possibilities. also, in some cases it can change your bloods DNA, though there isn't any record of this problem affecting health...that i know of


What are the different types of blood and their functions?
