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.


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.


What blood type is universal?

O negative blood type is considered the universal blood donor type because it can be given to recipients of any ABO blood type. Conversely, AB positive blood type is considered the universal recipient type because individuals with this blood type can receive blood from any other ABO blood type.


Which blood group is the universal donor?

Group O is the universal donor. The downside for people with type O blood is that although their blood can go to anyone with any type (A,B, or O), they can only receive type O for themselves. Luckily, O is common.


is A positive blood a universal donor type?

O negative is the universal donor because when O+ve blood group is transfused to -ve blood group recipient, antibodies are produced which causes hemolysis of Rh +ve labelled blood cells. When O-ve blood is transfused to Rh +ve recipient, no antibodies are produced as donor blood has no Rh factor present on blood cells, so no transfusion reaction occurs. Thus, O -ve is universal donor.

Why is a person with type O blood called a universal donor and a person with type AB blood called a universal receiver?

A universal donor (blood type O) has blood cells with no marker proteins that another body can not reject. Blood type AB, the universal receiver has all the marker proteins, so it can identify blood of any other type as its own.

What blood type is compatible with all patients?

Depends on how you look at it. O negative is the universal donor therefore the highest demand for trauma and critical patients who will not survive waiting for a lab to type/cross a blood sample. AB positive is the universal receiver thus able to be transfused with any donor's blood.
