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 else can I help you with?
Which antibody and antigen combination match each blood type?
The blood type notation A Rh- indicates which antigens and antibodies are present in the blood. A indicates there are A antigens. Rh+ indicates there are Rh antigens. B antibodies. If there are A and Rh antigens but no B antigens, the antibodies in the blood plasma are B antibodies.
What antibodies and antigens are in type A plus blood?
Basically, Group A Rh (D) +ve blood type has antigen A and antibody B
What can happen if an RH person receives RH blood?
They could potentially develop an antibody.
What can happen if an RH- person receives RH plus blood?
They could potentially develop an antibody.
What is the Rh blood type?
People with different blood types have proteins specific to that blood type on the surfaces of their red blood cells (RBCs). Rh factor "Rhesus factor" is type of antigens on the human blood cell. The presence of this antigen in human blood given (+) besides it's blood type. The absence of this antigen is given (-) besides blood type. For example A- or A+.
Desribe how to type blood to detect the abo and rh blood groups?
To type blood according to abo, the lab detects the proteins of the cells to determine whether blood is a b or o. To further type blood into rh- and rh positive, the lab checks antibodies to specific proteins.
What is Rh sensitization?
Rh sensitization is a condition where a person's immune system develops antibodies against Rh-positive red blood cells, typically occurring when an Rh-negative individual is exposed to Rh-positive blood. This immune response can cause complications during future pregnancies if an Rh-negative mother carries an Rh-positive fetus. Rh sensitization can be prevented with the administration of Rh immunoglobulin.
Describe the antibody antigen interactions that would occur if an Rh- perosn with type B blood received blood from an Rh person with type AB blood?
The Rh- person has no Rh antigens, so their body does not recognize the Rh antigens on the Rh+ donor blood as foreign. However, the B antigens on the donor blood are recognized by the recipient's immune system as foreign, leading to an immune response against the B antigens. This can result in a transfusion reaction if not properly managed.
Can Rh negative patient receive Rh positive plasma?
A Rh negative patient cannot receive Rh positive blood as it will cause a antibody reaction to the donor plasma, but a Rh positive patient can receive Rh negative blood as the donor blood lacks the Rh antibody component. PS the Rh factor is present on Red blood cells and not in Plasma
Why would an A plus blood type baby be at risk in the womb of an AB- blood type Mother?
The baby has RH factor and the mother does not. If the mother has had a previous RH+ child/children there is a possibility that she may have produced antibodies. Subsequent RH+ children are at risk because the mother's antibody production results in blood cell destruction (hemolytic anemia) in the fetus/child.
What are the different types of Rh blood types?
There are two types of Rh blood type, a Rh + and a Rh -ve, they are useful in surgery so blood type can be matched. Especially in pregnancy it is beneficial for mother and child to have the same Rh blood type.
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.
