Only those with AB blood. However people with AB blood can receive blood from any time: A, B, AB or O.

While this is the case, it is still critically important for AB+ blood types to donate. AB+ is the universal recipient of other blood types but also the universal donor for plasma. Plasma is used in the treatment of blood disorders because it contains clotting factors, glucose, proteins, in helps in the regulation of electrolytes. Therefore AB+ blood is almost as highly sought as O-.

Why you must know your blood group?

It is important to know your ''blood type'' (as it is referred to) because if you need blood, your body will only accept the blood that is your ''blood type'' Another reason, is that if you ever have the need to ''give'' blood, you can only ''give'' blood to someone who has your ''blood type''. It is advisable to carry around a card with blood type, in case of an emergency and you need blood. It will save time having the labs take your blood and test it while you might be dying.


Why you can give patients with group A blood with group O?

Group A blood types have A antibodies attached to their blood cells. Group B blood types have B antibodies attached to their blood cells. If you give a group A blood type a transfusion with type B blood, their body will attack the type B blood cells after sensing foreign antibodies. Since Group O does not have any antibodies attached to the blood cells, you can give it to type A. Type A will not detect foreign antibodies since group O has no antibodies, and therefore, the body will accept the type O blood. All Medical Answers need confirmation and re-confirmation.
