Blood Transfusions

I'd stay as long as you can because the person who gave the blood may be not truthful when answering questions, they can have sex with drug addicts or gay people and not admit to it, they may have been raped and not know of the status of the rapist, diseases from other countries are rare here and are not tested, like malaria, and you can get diseases from blood transfusions, if they have allergies you can get these too, I would never take blood, at jw.org they show safe alternatives to blood transfusions,

For ABO antibodies, group A has anti-B.

Type A, Rh negative red cells can be, and are frequently, transfused to AB, rh negative recipients. Type A, Rh negative whole blood, however, cannot be given to an AB, Rh negative recipient as anti-B antibodies present in the unit could cause an acute, hemolytic transfusion reaction. Whole blood transfusions are rarely used in modern transfusion medicine.

About 85 percent of the people he tested had this protein, and about 15 percent lacked it. Like the A, B, AB, and O blood types, the presence of Rh factor is determined by a marker on the red blood cell. If your blood type is Rh positive, you have the Rh marker. If your blood type is Rh negative, you lack the marker on your cells. If you are Rh negative and ever received Rh positive blood, you would develop Rh clumping proteins in your plasma. This situation is potentially dangerous.

Yes. In fact it would be forbidden by Jewish law to deny a blood transfusion, because Jewish laws says that life is more important than almost any Jewish law

YES, blood packs that are in the "Blood bank" are stored in fridges to slightly prolong the "shelf life" of the pack. When a pack is to be used it first must be brought up to room temp.

Everyone's blood cells have the same cell architecture and functional components (all blood cells are biconcave disks and contain hemoglobin unless there is a genetic disorder). However, the blood types are the result of different antigens (proteins, carbohydrates, glycoproteins, or glycolipids) on the surface of the blood cells. The most frequently seen A, B, AB and O blood system is caused by different carbohydrate antigens. People with type A have type A antigen, people with type B have type B antigen, people with type AB have both antigens, and people with type O have no antigens. These antigens facilitate rejection of blood by activating the immune system. It turns out that the immune system in a person whose blood does not have the antigen type in the transfusion blood recognizes the transfusion blood as foreign. This elicits an immune response to eliminate the 'invaders' and can result in the clumping of transfused blood cells due to antibody binding, causing the clogging of smaller vessels. Other blood type systems such as the Rhesus system involve other groups antigens on blood cell surfaces.

In an average healthy adult, the volume of blood is about one-eleventh of the body weight. Most sources state the volume of blood in an average human adult, who is between 150 to 160 pounds, as between 4.7 and 5 liters (around 5 quarts), although the more recent sources state the volume of blood in an average adult as 4.7 liters. Sources state that an 80-pound child had about half that amount, and an 8-pound infant has about 8.5 ounces. People who live at high altitudes, where the air contains less oxygen, may have up to 1.9 liters more blood than people who live in low altitude regions. The extra blood delivers additional oxygen to body cells. The heart pumps all the blood in the body each minute when the body is at rest.

An acute febrile reaction is the most common adverse reaction to a blood transfusion. This is typically treated with tylenol.

Platelets don't carry any specific anti-body or antigen that would need to be matched up as the whole blood does as to not cause coagulation

Refusing consent means that the physician has explained all of the benefits and risks of having a transfusion of blood and blood products AND the patient will not accept the risks associated with transfusion.

It is a signed document.

Witnesses are not allowed to have transfusions of

whole blood,

red cells,

white cells,

plasma or

platelets.

Transfusions of any of the component parts of these are allowed.

Witnesses are not allowed to donate their own blood for storage for later use.

A can donate to A because they are the same type.

To donate from an A to an AB requires a little more effort. Every person's blood, except for AB blood has antigens which mark blood with "additional letters" as foreign, prompting their destruction. For example, type A blood will have anti-B antigens, type B blood will have anti-A antigens, and type O blood will have both anti-As and anti-Bs. However, AB blood has neither because it has both A and B. However, if blood from an A was put directly into an AB person, the anti-B antigens would begin to attack the AB's native blood, which would cause a number of problems. Therefore, the A blood must first be cleaned of antigens before being able to be donated.

A cannot donate to O or B because those people have anti-A antigens in their bloodstream and would just keep making it (even if you found a way to remove all of their current anti-A antigens). This would lead to the body attacking the new blood as opposed to using it.

First of all, when you go for donating your blood you have to first undergo some medical checkups in order to prove yourself eligible to donate blood. When you donate blood after a certain period of time, your cells start regenerating and the amount you donated regenerates in the body and in this way you can again donate the blood after a period of three months or so, as soon as the blood regenerates and you stay healthy.

my blood group is A2B +ve .. in under what blood group it comes ??

She was a Jehovah's witness and she did not believe in medical treatment Gracias! (Thank you)

Risks associated with autologous blood transfusion include transfusion reaction if an allogeneic blood transfusion was inadvertently given and transmission of infectious agents if the blood became contaminated.

To ensure that blood cells have just the right required amount of water content for them to be healthy. If they contain too much water, then this will pass through the cell's semi-permeable membrane out into the plasma; if they have too little, then the same will happen in reverse.

If you have lost a lot of blood you will feel light headed, dizzy, nauseous, and possible lose of conscientiousness. The best thing to do is to drink a lot of water/juices and eat something. You should probably get yourself to the hospital if you suspect you lost a life-threatening amount, but do not drive, have someone drive you or call an ambulance.

What is the tonicity of you blood

Of course, it depends on your own blood type. The best is always to use the same as your own. But if need be, O negative is the universal donor and can be given to anyone. Notice that donor has two O's. This a good way to remember it. Type O can not receive anything but O. Type A can receive A and O. Type B can receive B and O. And AB can receive A, B, AB and O. AB is called the universal recipient.

Low level of neutrophils in the blood, also known as Neutropenia, can be caused by a range of disorders, from lowered production of the cells (aplastic anemia, cancer, poisonings) to increased destruction (autoimmune disorders, chemotherapy).
