blood type O can give to anyone because they are the universal donor.

and blood type AB- can give to blood type AB-.

*Another user says...

Because the rhesus factor is negative, this blood type can receive any type of blood other than the types with positive rhesus factors. In other words, O-, A-, B-, and AB-. Hope this helps!

Which blood type can be given to any patient?

The universal transfusion blood donor type is the "O negative" blood type. The Rh factor (positive or negative) is as important as the ABO blood group. If you gave O positive blood to someone with Rh negative blood, it would cause problems, including the possibility of death.


What blood types are compatible for kidney transplant?

* O can be donated to any type, A can be given to both A and AB, B can be given to both B and AB, AB can only be given to AB. * O can only receive O, A can receive A or O, B can receive B or O, AB can receive any. * Rhesus negative can be given to both negative and positive. Positive can only be given to positive. Positive can receive both positive and negative, negative can only receive negative the organ used, and the blood used for transfusion during transplantation, must be from a donor of the same blood type as the patient. There are not blood types which are generallyincompatible with transplant, only those that are incompatible for specific transplants. The patient's blood type is what is important

Can blood type o be donated to anyone?

maybe. In terms of the ABO typing, O is the universal donor. However, the donor also needs to have the same Rhesus factor as the patient (Rh+ or Rh-). It is essential to always cross-match the patient's blood with the donor's.


If type O blood is transfused into a person with blood type B what will need to be done to the blood?

Since a patient with Type B blood has B antigens on their RBC's and since Type O blood has both anti-A and anti-B antibodies present in the blood plasma, the donor blood needs to be treated before transfusion. The Type O blood needs to be separated into packed cells and plasma, usually done by centrifuge, and only the packed cells should be used for the transfusion. Remember the anti-B antibodies are present in the Type O blood plasma and could cause serious damage in the system of a patient with Type B blood.

If you have type A plus blood who can you donate blood to?

Type A blood can be given to patients with type A or AB blood. Type B blood can be given to patients with type B or AB blood Type AB blood can only be given to patients with type AB blood. Type O blood can be given to patients with any blood type. The plus means the Rhetus group of the blood, which isn't as important as the blood type (A, B, AB or O), meaning there usually aren't complications even if blood of the wrong Rhetus group is given to a patient. In modern medicine, however, patients are nearly always given the blood of their own blood type, if possible.


What would happen if type B blood were given to a type AB patient?

What are the matching blood types against each type?

When donating blood they can only be given to a specific blood type. Type A can be given to A or AB blood types only. Type B can be given to B or AB blood types only. Type AB can only be given to AB. While type O can be given to all type A, B, AB and O blood types.


What type of blood types can receive O?

It depends on what blood component is to be transfused. If O, Rh negative whole blood is to be given, the patient may be O, Rh negative or O, Rh positive. If O, Rh negative red cells are to be transfused, the patient may be any blood type (generally).
