What does the presence of the Rh antigen mean?

Rh antigen, which is also called D antigen, indicates if the blood type is positive or negative. The presence of this antigen indicates the patient is Rh positive, the absence of this antigen reflects a blood type of Rh Negative. For example, if a person is O Positive, the Rh antigen is present.


Can a mother with A positive blood and father with O positive blood have a baby with A negative blood?

No. Rh negative is a recessive gene. Positive people do not carry it.


Can your father and mother have Rh positive factor and you be Rh negative?

YES. Maybe both of your parents are half-Rh positive, but not a full-blown Rh positive. Your parents will have 25% chances of getting a Rh negative offspring (Out of 4 children, only 1 become Rh negative) This comes true in our family. Both myself and my husband are Rh positive and our kid (3 years) is Rh negative. My blood group is B+ve, and my husband is A1B+ve and our kid is A1-ve.


What will occur when a person with type B positive blood receives a unit of type A negative blood?

Break it down into blood type (A, B, O) and understand what it means. A has an A protein, B had a B protein, and O has no proteins. There is type AB which includes both A protein and B protein. Now think of it as a proteins are rivals. In your question you mentioned a person with B blood getting A bloods. B and A proteins would fight each other. That would be a "transfusion reaction". The person would become very anemic with high bilirubin, Now let's get into Rh compatibility/incompatibility. The only problem that goes is when Rh proteins (Rh+) enter the Rh negative persons (Rh-). But since the person in the question already has type Rh+ it wouldn't hurt to add blood cells that do not have the Rh protein. But if it was the other way around *Rh- getting Rh+ blood" you would have a reaction.


Is blood type A positive compatible with O negative?

It depends. If O neg individual is donating, then that's fine. O is the universal donor bloodtype and there are no RH factors associated. However, on the other hand, if A pos is donating, the O neg individual's body will counteract both the A antibodies as well as the RH factor.

What blood group is given to someone who is RH negative blood group A?

You would give them A Rh Negative blood or you could also give them O Rh Negative as well. Group O is the universal donor so it can be given to anyone. If the patient is Rh Negative, they can only receive Rh Negative blood. If the patient was Rh positive, they can receive Rh positive or Rh negative.

Is there blood banks in my area with rh blood?

Rh blood is the most complex genetically of all blood types. It is known that a mother who is pregnant and has Rh- and the father has Rh+, it can cause birth defects in the child. If you are recieving a blood transfusion though this does not apply. You can either recieve Rh- or Rh+. All blood types negative or positive all have Rh blood types in them. The problem you may be experiencing which may take you awhile to recieve blood is that you may have Rh- negative blood which means that you cannot recieve Rh-negative or Rh+negative, and you can only recieve Rh- negative, but yes all blood banks will carry Rh blood, this type of blood though may be more common in different types of people though.


Can Rh negative patient receive Rh positive plasma?

A Rh negative patient cannot receive Rh positive blood as it will cause a antibody reaction to the donor plasma, but a Rh positive patient can receive Rh negative blood as the donor blood lacks the Rh antibody component. PS the Rh factor is present on Red blood cells and not in Plasma


Why cant a woman that is rh negative donate blood?

This not entirely true while an Rh- person can not receive Rh+ blood due to the fact as stated above an Rh+ person can receive Rh- blood because there is no Rh in the blood. This is why O- people are universal donors meaning they are able to give blood to anyone, but can only receive 0- blood.
