Individuals with B negative blood type can receive blood donations from individuals with B negative blood type and individuals with O negative blood type.
AB red cell donations can only be given to AB recipients. But whole blood donations are separated into different products and AB plasma can be given to other blood groups
I know about the donations busses that come around to different locations, and take blood donators from the community. While you're in there, you can ask the nurses or doctor what your blood type is.
Yes, O blood type is considered universal for red blood cell donations because it lacks A or B antigens, making it compatible with all blood types for transfusions. However, O negative blood type is the universal donor for both red blood cells and plasma donations.
I think if you are O Pos you can only get 0 Pos, but if you are O pos you can give your blood to any of the other blood groups. But I am not a Dr nor a Heamatologist. Just scan through these details on the net to find more info.
Blood type during donations is asked because it is critical that blood types are matched. There are 4 human blood types: A, AB, B, and O. AB and B people can only accept their own blood type and O. A can receive all three other blood types. O can only receive it's own. If you get the wrong blood type you can die.
They use the same blood type because other wise the body will reject the Donor type. It has to do with protein markers. There are universal donors who can give blood to anyone, these are people with an O blood type. There is also the Universal recipient which is someone with Ab blood type. Alot of blood banks have gone to using what is known as Plasma. It is derived from blood donations and is not subject to rejection from the recipient.
realistically, the only common blood type that B types can get, is B+ or B-, depending on which one they themselves have. However, O-, the universal receiver, can be given to all blood types. Unfortunately, there are very few O- blood types. So blood donations will help. AB+, for extra information, is a blood type that is known to be a universal receiver
They can, But it is more common for them to have the same blood type.
It seems like your sentence is incomplete. If you could provide more context or specify what type of donations you are referring to, I would be happy to help you formulate a complete response!
