What does RHD mean?
Rh blood group, D antigen
What is O Rh D Positive?
O Rh D positive refers to a blood type that is O positive and Rh positive. In this blood type, the individual has O type blood with Rh factor present on the red blood cells. This is one of the most common blood types among the population.
What Rh blood type develops the Rh antibody?
The significant Rh antigen most care about is D antigen and all A+, B+, AB+ or O+ blood types have the Rh Antigen. The positive is used to indicate the D antigen. There are different, in fact numerous kind of blood groups. While the ABO blood group is one example the Rh blood group is another one. The Rh blood group has 5 antigens: D C c E & e. Everyone has Rh antigens one or the other but out of Rh antigens the most important one is D. If a person has D anitgen then he/she is said to be Rh+ if not Rh-.
What does A Rh D POS mean as your blood group?
A Rh D POS signifies that your blood type is A with the presence of the Rh factor (Rhesus factor D antigen). This means you have A antigens on the surface of your red blood cells and are Rh positive, indicating that you can receive blood from A positive, A negative, O positive, and O negative blood types. It's important in blood transfusions and pregnancy, as it can affect compatibility between blood types.
What is d negative blood?
It is the equivalent to Rh negative blood. D is the antigen present on commonly termed Rh+ red cells, and the D antigen is missing on D-negative blood.
Can a father with a rh d positive and a mother with o rh positive produce a a rh negative baby?
yes if both are heterozygotes
Rh antigen is also called?
There are about 45 different Rh antigens, the most important of which is the D-antigen.
What type of blood can a person with type B RH-negative receive?
A person with Type B Rh negative blood can receive B Rh negative red cells or O Rh negative red cells. If no Rh negative blood is available, this person could receive B or O Rh positive blood, but this would not be recommended for women of child bearing age as the exposure to the D antigen (D is the Rh positive part) may cause this person to form an antibody against the D (Rh) antigen (Anti-D). Anti-D may cross the placenta and attach to D positive cells in the fetus leading red cell destruction and other serious consequences.
Can parents with a negative and a positive blood type have a child with an o negative blood type?
Yes. If mother was A/O RH pos (D d) and Father is A/O RH neg (d d), then they could have a O positive child. One only needs one big D to express the RH positive gene.
What blood types can person with blood type B negative receive?
A person with Type B Rh negative blood can receive B Rh negative red cells or O Rh negative red cells. If no Rh negative blood is available, this person could receive B or O Rh positive blood, but this would not be recommended for women of child bearing age as the exposure to the D antigen (D is the Rh positive part) may cause this person to form an antibody against the D (Rh) antigen (Anti-D). Anti-D may cross the placenta and attach to D positive cells in the fetus leading red cell destruction and other serious consequences.
Is their such a thing as blood d?
I assume what you are talking about is D antigen in Rh (Rhesus) blood group system. Rh blood group system is the most important blood group system after ABO blood group system (i.e. type A (AA, AO), type AB, type B (BB, BO), type O (OO) ). The Rh blood group system consists of 50 defined blood-group antigens and the 5 antigens D, C, c, E, and e are the most important. The commonly-used terms Rh factor, Rh positive and Rh negative refer to the D antigen only. Rh factor (Rh- and Rh + depending on D antigen neg/pos) is important for blood transfusion and prevention of hemolytic disease of the newborn or erythroblastosis fetalis (basically the baby and mom have different blood type - Rh- and Rh+ and cause severe immune response - fatal to the newborn)
Which Rh blood group is dominant?
Anti D
