Type O blood is the Universal Donor so persons with Type A, B, AB and O can receive blood from an O donor depending upon presence of antigens.
Type AB is the universal recipient of all blood types depending on the antigens of course.
A person with A negative blood can donate blood to a person with A negative blood and a person with AB negative blood.
Type A blood can only be donated to others with Type A blood or AB blood.
Blood type A can receive a transfusion from blood types A and AB.
That statement is incorrect. A person with blood type A can receive a blood transfusion from a person with blood type O because type O blood is considered a universal donor that is compatible with all blood types.
Yes, a person with AB- blood can receive O- blood in a transfusion because AB can receive blood from A, B, AB, and O blood types. However, individuals with AB- blood type can only donate to other individuals with AB blood type.
Generally the only time blood type compatability is important is during a blood transfusion. At this time it is essential that the recipient be given a blood type they are compatible with to avoid a fatal reaction. A person with AB blood can receive blood for anyone. A person with A blood can only receive blood from someone who has either A or O blood. Similarly a type B person can receive only from type B or O. A type O person can donate to any bloodtype, but can only receive from another type O person.
People with A Positive blood can only donate to people with blood types A or AB, not any other. You can donate to people outside your blood type group, though only to AB People.
A person with type O blood can only get a transfusion using type O blood. Someone with type A or B blood, however, can get a transfusion with their own type blood or with type O blood, which is known as a universal blood type.
A person with Type O can donate to any other blood type, but can only receive blood from another Type O person. A person having blood group O (with absence of Rh-factor) only can donate his blood to any other individual. Rh or Antigen-D is a factor which decides the positivity or negativity of the blood, so the blood group O-negative is considered the universal donor, as it does not effect any of other blood groups.
O- blood used to be considered the universal blood donor but now medicine knows that there are other factors in the blood that can cause rejection from the body.http://www.mayoclinic.org/tests-procedures/blood-transfusion/expert-answers/universal-blood-donor-type/faq-20058229
The blood given by transfusion must be matched with the recipient's blood type. Incompatible blood types can cause a serious adverse reaction (transfusion reaction). Blood is introduced slowly by gravity flow directly into the veins
that the blood types are the same or compatible
