There are two parts to a blood type. One is the letter, A,B,AB, or O. This is the major part of the blood type. The other or minor part is the Rh type, which the A,B,AB, or O part is either positive or negative. Let me explain. The A or B or AB part of the blood type is called an antigen. It is inherited from your parents. The +/- part of the equation is call the Rh or "Big D" antigen. It is also inherited. Most likely, if one of your parents were + for Rh, then the offspring will be also. This is a general explanation.
The clinical significance of the Rh factor appears when a mother-to-be in her 28th week of pregnancy comes to the clinic and discovers that she is Rh - (particularly O blood type) and there is a chance that the baby growing in her womb is Rh +. The difference in their Rh factors would cause mom's immune system to take action; it would try to attack the baby (Rh Hemolytic Disease of the Newborn) causing anemia in the baby. As the baby's blood circulates through mom, there is a good chance that the bilirubin from the baby would accumulate in mom and she may become jaundiced. To prevent such things from happening, mom would be given prophylactic treatment (anti-RhD IgG immunoglobulin) during her 28th week of pregnancy.
CAN TWO POSITIVE BLOOD TYPES MAKE a negative blood type
Blood type B positive means that you have anti-A antibodies, B-antigens, and an Rh factor that is positive. As a B+, you can receive blood from people with blood types O postive, O negative, B positive, and B negative, however a B+ blood type can only donate to a person with B+ and AB+ blood type.
A positive
O Positive is the most common blood type and it has no molecules on the red blood cell surface which means people with Type O universal blood donors. Positive means that your blood contains what is called a RhD antigen. Type O was the first blood type discovered. It is believed it can make you more likely to get ulcers or have thyroid problems.
The Rhesus factor, also known as the Rh factor, is an antigen that exists on the surface of red blood cells. People who have the Rhesus factor are considered to have a positive blood type. Those who don't have the antigen are considered to have a negative blood type.
There is no blood type OE. There are 8 different blood types, A positive and negative, B positive and negative, O positive and negative, and AB positive and negative.
Human blood has a protein (rH). If you have rH in your blood you have positive blood type, if you are lacking rH you have a negative blood type. Negative blood rejects positive blood because it is lacking the chemical, however positive blood can accept both negative or positive blood.
Type A or Type O Negative can give to positive Positive can not give to negative
Yes. My mother is O positive and my father is O negative and I am O negative
Yes. My mother is O positive and my father is O negative and I am O negative
CAN TWO POSITIVE BLOOD TYPES MAKE a negative blood type
B positive or negative or, O positive or negative.
You could be A positive, A negative, O positive or O negative.
Blood type B positive means that you have anti-A antibodies, B-antigens, and an Rh factor that is positive. As a B+, you can receive blood from people with blood types O postive, O negative, B positive, and B negative, however a B+ blood type can only donate to a person with B+ and AB+ blood type.
yes, absolutely
Of course!
A positive
