Consideration must be given to whether or not the person is Rh positive or Rh negative. A person with blood type A positivecan receive A positive, A negative, O positiveand O negative blood. A person with A negative blood can only receive A negative and O negative blood.
An individual who is blood type AB negative can donate blood to individuals with AB positive and negative blood types. They can receive blood from AB negative donors, as well as from donors with O negative, A negative, and B negative blood types.
It is special because it can only receive negative blood and blood products. If the people receive any other type it can be fatal. Negative blood is high but the supply is low.
An 'O' negative patient can receive blood from any blood type. However, 'O' negative is considered the universal donor for red blood cells because it lacks A, B, and Rh antigens, making it safe for almost everyone to receive.
Individuals with B negative blood type can receive blood donations from individuals with B negative blood type and individuals with O negative blood type.
If you have blood type B with antibody A, you can safely receive blood from donors with blood types B and O. Blood type B individuals have antibodies against blood type A, so receiving blood from donors with blood type A or AB can elicit an immune response.
blood type O can give to anyone because they are the universal donor. and blood type AB- can give to blood type AB-. *Another user says... Because the rhesus factor is negative, this blood type can receive any type of blood other than the types with positive rhesus factors. In other words, O-, A-, B-, and AB-. Hope this helps!
Type A or Type O Negative can give to positive Positive can not give to negative
A person who has type O blood is called a universal donor which means you can donate blood to anybody no matter what their blood type is. The only thing is a person with o Type blood can only receive O type blood and nothing else. I worked in a ER and if the patient needed a blood transfusion and we didn't know what blood type he was we always gave type O blood.
The heart must come from a person with the same blood type as the patient, unless it is blood type O negative. A blood type O negative heart is a universal donor and is suitable for any patient regardless of blood type.
