blood group O is universal, however has its limitations. for example gp O donor also brings anti A and anti B present in the plasma if it has not been removed.similarily non gp specific donors for ABO contribute incompatible antibodies(anti A or anti B or both). if they are incompatible, severe transfusion reaction may immediately follow and can be fatal for the pt.(recepient).

Is O positive blood type can transfuse to anyone?

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.


Is O positive universal blood group?

O positive blood can be transfused to any person with a positive Rh factor, making it a universal donor for Rh-positive individuals. However, it is not universal for all blood types because some individuals may have antibodies to other blood group antigens present in O positive blood.


Which blood group is universal donor O positive or O negative?

Actually O negative is the universal donor. Type O blood does not have either A or B antigen and as such will not be rejected by a new recipient. Negative refers to the fact that the cells do not express the Rh factor. If O positive blood were to be given to an O negative person it could be very detrimental. Type O negative blood basically has none of the antigens or factors that can trigger a reaction. Conversely type AB positive blood type is referred to as a universal recipient. These people have blood cells with both the A and B antigens and they express the Rh factor and as such any blood type they receive will be tolerated by their systems.


Why blood group O Positive is universal donor?

Blood group O Positive is considered the universal donor because it lacks A or B antigens on the surface of red blood cells. This means it can be transfused to individuals with any ABO blood type without causing an immune reaction. Additionally, the presence of the Rh antigen (Positive) ensures compatibility with Rh-positive recipients.


Can O plus donate to AB negative?

Yes, O positive can donate red blood cells to AB negative. O positive is a universal donor for red blood cells, meaning it can be transfused to individuals with any blood type. However, O positive donors are not universal plasma donors for AB negative recipients.

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.

Thus, O -ve is universal donor.
