Type D blood does not exist. There is, however, gene D, which is one of the three genes that make up Rh antigens. Blood shortage happens most frequent in areas with a huge population and poor sanitation. This is due to the lack of supply of clean donor blood.

Why is it important for AB blood types to donate blood?

It's important for anyone who can donate blood to donate, but the fact is that AB is not a donor for any blood type but its own. AB can only donate to AB. AB is, however, what is referred to as a universal recipient, meaning that someone with type AB blood can receive blood from AB, A, B, and O blood types. This being the case, it wouldn't seem that a shortage of AB blood would be a problem unless there is a generalized blood shortage of all types (which there usually is, so donate if you can spare a pint!)

How might blood type O be useful?

Blood type O individuals are considered universal donors because their blood can be transfused to individuals of any blood type.

Additionally, blood type O individuals are less likely to experience adverse reactions in case of transfusions with other blood types due to the absence of A or B antigens on their red blood cells.
