If you donate blood, the Red Cross will give you a card to show your blood-type and how much you have donated. However the hospital will not use this card to determine what kind of blood to give you if you need a transfusion, they will either give you O Negative Blood or test yours to see what your type is and if the blood they are giving you will make you sick.

Rhesus Factor in Blood?

It really did start with a rhesus monkey. There are four: O, A, B and AB. there is a factor, too. If you have it you are postive. If you don't you are negative. O is the most common and about 60% of people have it. About 30% have A. B is around 5% and the rarest, AB is about 2% O can donate to any other blood type depending upon the factor but can only give to itself. A can take O and B can, too. A can only give to A and B can only give to B. A person with the positive factor cannot give to someone with a negative factor and also the other way around. The rarest blood is AB negative and is found among the American Indians. there are also sub factors which usually occur as a result of having received blood. No blood factor is changed by donation of blood.

What are Rh antigens?

They are a type of antigen that some people carry on their red blood cells. They are called "rhesus" because they were initially identified and studied on the red blood cells of rhesus monkeys, then were later also found in humans. If a person has Rh+ blood type they have this antigen, if a person has Rh- blood type they do not. They are important in blood transfusions in that a person with Rh+ blood type can receive either Rh+ or Rh- blood with no problems, but a person with Rh- blood type can only receive Rh- blood (Rh+ blood could kill him when antibodies from his immune system attack the rhesus antigen, causing massive blood clotting). They are important in pregnancy in that a woman with Rh- blood type has a much higher chance of miscarriage if her baby has Rh+ blood type. Note: there are roughly 30 different classes of blood type antigens, not just the familiar A, B, and Rh antigens. Most however are very rare.

Can a o positive male have a baby with regis negative female?

A positive man with a negative woman rarely ever forms a problem, and even if it did, it would not compare to anything.The problems only BEGINS when the woman is negative blood type and the father is postive? what is the baby....that's the crucial question. There are test that cost money to find out the baby's blood type . i don't endorse or talk against any products here. Talk to your doctors. Try to find a doctor that speaks english. dude, it's not regis, it's Rh Negative, meaning people with Negative blood type do not carry the RH covering on their blood. This blood was first found in Rhesus Monkeys, that is why it is called RH. positives have it, negatives don't.No one knows where negative blood originates and it cannot be reproduced. We can't be clones either. Guess Pat Benetar wasn't a neg. she had a b side called, My clone sleeps alone" LOL


Is there blood banks in my area with rh blood?

Rh blood is the most complex genetically of all blood types. It is known that a mother who is pregnant and has Rh- and the father has Rh+, it can cause birth defects in the child. If you are recieving a blood transfusion though this does not apply. You can either recieve Rh- or Rh+. All blood types negative or positive all have Rh blood types in them. The problem you may be experiencing which may take you awhile to recieve blood is that you may have Rh- negative blood which means that you cannot recieve Rh-negative or Rh+negative, and you can only recieve Rh- negative, but yes all blood banks will carry Rh blood, this type of blood though may be more common in different types of people though.
