Does an organ recipient need to have the same blood type as a donor?

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.


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.


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.


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.


Why can type AB blood receive A or B donor blood, but type A blood can only receive A or O?

Type AB blood has both A and B antigens on its red blood cells, so it can receive A or B donor blood without the immune system reacting. Type A blood only has A antigens, so it can only receive A or O donor blood to avoid an immune response.

WHY O- IS universal donor?

O- is considered the universal donor because it lacks both A and B antigens as well as the Rh factor, making it compatible with all blood types. This reduces the risk of incompatible transfusions and possible adverse reactions when transfused into recipients of different blood types.

No. You would have to be a O blood type. That is the "universal" blood donor. The best kind.
