yes it may be because it may be donated to other blood types.
O negative is the universal donor.
Type O negative.
No. O negative is the universal donor.
Type O negative blood is a universal donor blood type. In normal circumstances, anyone can receive type O negative blood in a transfusion. When it comes to plasma donation, type AB positive is a universal donor.
O negative
No it is not..The blood group is O negative.
O negative is the universal donor because when O+ve blood group is transfused to -ve blood group recipient, antibodies are produced which causes hemolysis of Rh +ve labelled blood cells. When O-ve blood is transfused to Rh +ve recipient, no antibodies are produced as donor blood has no Rh factor present on blood cells, so no transfusion reaction occurs. Thus, O -ve is universal donor.
O Rh D negative
A patient with O negative blood is considered the universal donor. This phenotype is associated with just one genotype; both alleles must be "O" and both alleles must be negative.
O positive blood type can be transfused to individuals with O positive and O negative blood types. It is considered a universal donor for Rh positive blood types, but is not suitable for those with Rh negative blood type.
The blood type that is theoretically considered the universal donor is type O. Type O blood does not have any antigens, therefore it is compatible with any blood type.
It can be donated to any person, and it is universally accepted.
