People with blood group "O" carries no antigents on their blood cells (in contrary, "A", "B", and "AB" group carries "A","B" and "AB" antigens respectively on their red blood cells). When the "O" group person receives A,B or AB blood type, the body tend to act agains it as they contain A, B or AB antigens and produce their respective antibodies to destroy it (just like treating them like a pathogen!). This causes hemolytic anemia(a condition where red blood cells are destroyed)
What else can I help you with?
Which blood types are compatible I have no clue and need help.?
O- is compatible with donating to all blood types. AB+ is compatible with receiving from all blood types. All other blood types are on their own with compatibility.
Should types negative and positive blood types be considered in donating and receiving blood?
Of course! Type O- is the universal donor and AB+ is the universal recipient.
Is blood type o compatible with b?
Should be. i believe o+ universal for all types (but check with med expert)
What are the matching blood types against each type?
When donating blood they can only be given to a specific blood type. Type A can be given to A or AB blood types only. Type B can be given to B or AB blood types only. Type AB can only be given to AB. While type O can be given to all type A, B, AB and O blood types.
What is a match for matching blood types?
They determine the blood match by figuring out the antigens on your Red Blood cells and then providing you with the same blood group type. If the same one is not available then Blood O type is given.
Are all transfusions types the same?
No. Transfusions are categorized into different blood types. ABO blood types are the largest group. A person can have A, B, AB, or O type. The O is considered the universal donor and the AB is the universal recipient. That means that O is the preferred blood type of a person that is donating blood because it can be transfused into any other blood type. The AB is the preferred recipient because they can receive any of the blood types and not reject the agglutinogens, which are the proteins on the outside of red blood cells.
Who do you ask to find out your blood type?
There are four blood types in the ABO Group. They are A, B, AB and O. Your doctor should be able to tell you your specific type. Also, if you are donating blood they should send you a notice with your type on it.
Both my husband and me have O negative blood types. Could there be a problems getting pregnant or any problems with the baby?
No problems related to blood match.
Because my blood type is common can I get blood if I need it quickly?
People with blood types O characteristically have no antigens A and B present but have antibodies for A and B. Due to this characteristic feature of their blood types, they are capable of donating blood to people with any blood type, hence they're considered to be universl donors; however they can only receive blood from people with the same blood type as theirs. For example, blood type O+ can get blood from Type O+ or O-. Since blood type O is relatively common, it is therefore easy to get blood quickly when needed and hospitals tend to have this blood type in stock due to universal donor feature.
O negative blood can receive blood from O positive person?
No, a person having o-negative blood cannot receive blood from a person having o-positive blood because it will cause coagulation of blood
How much would I be payed for my blood type which is O?
It is suggested that people donating rare blood types may be paid a higher premium. The actual price varies depending on location and need and also the donation center.
What blood type is rare when donating blood?
O positive is the most common blood type. O negative is the rarest donor because it is the rarest type of blood and is often referred to as the "universal donor."
