When there is a serious injury to someone and the persons blood group is A+ then can we donate O+ to him
Answers
Answer:
O+ blood group does not contain any antigen. Hence can be given to A+ patient since both have Rh factor and antigen-antibody coagulation does not occur in the recipient
Explanation:
Hemolytic transfusion reactions might occur if there is no blood group compatibility. Your ABO and Rh factor blood type has to match to prevent hemolytic transfusion reaction. Blood group A+ has antigen A and antibody B on it. It contains the Rh factor as well. Hence it can receive blood from either A+ or O+ people. It can receive the O+ blood type since the O blood type has no antigen. Hence the antibodies in the recipient body won't coagulate with the donor's blood. Rh factor is present in both A+ and O+. Hence when there is a serious injury to someone and the person blood group is A+ then can we donate O+ blood type to him
