Anyone here knows what's the rarest blood type? I wonder... and much appreciated if you'll answer more detailed
Most people believe that the most rarest is Type O Negative but the real one is AB negative. There's another one, the ever most rarest. The rarest blood type is the type that's not available when YOU need it!
The rarest one is AB-. But on the other hand, when doing transfusions and you're the 0 group, you can only receive blood from persons who are 0 group too. All other groups can receive their own type and 0. So, the group 0 is the most demanding when doing transfusions...
Rarest blood? Im not familiar with a medication term but here is some explaination about rare blood: In the "ABO" system, all Blood belongs to one of four major group: A, B, AB, or O. But there are more than two hundred minor Blood groups that can complicate Blood transfusions. These are known as Rare Blood Types. About one person in 1,000 will inherit a rare Blood type. Normally expressed in a letter or two, with maybe a plus or a minus, these few persons read their Blood type in an extensive series of letters in addition to their 'ABO' type designation. I found this site is quite informative and reveal a lot about blood: http://www.bloodbook.com/12-bl-info.html This is not my site, just google it.
AB- .... O +ve are universal donors , AB+ are universal recipients.... Sometimes, there may be some changes in a persons blood type and an additional factor called rh+ is included..... rh -> rheseus monkey. !!!
true , in ABO blood ground donar and receipeint both must have same blood group. mean O+ blood is also useless here . well my blood ground is O+
If the spread of HIV is not controlled globally, then being HIV negative will be a rarity in the days to come
Among the major blood groups (A, B, AB and O both positive and negatives) O-ve is the rarest. But the rarest are those which is found in only handful of people e.g. in India one such group is "bombay group", these are rarest and all the countries have some rarest groups like the one mentioned above.
Yup I Agree O-ve and AB-ve Are Hard To Find ... Mostly Its O-ve Becz You Hear a Lot that Donors needed for This Group ... and We rarely Hear For The AB-ve Group
O Rh Positive 1 person in 3 O Rh Negative 1 person in 15 A Rh Positive 1 person in 3 A Rh Negative 1 person in 16 B Rh Positive 1 person in 12 B Rh Negative 1 person in 67 AB Rh Positive 1 person in 29 AB Rh Negative 1 person in 167
I don't think this is quite right. I think O -ve are "universal donors". You certainly wouldn't want to be putting O +ve blood into someone who's rhesus-negative!
OMG, I have a AB- blood type and I didn't know that this blood type is the rarest of all, as I always thought it's O- !!! I should be very careful and try not to involve in any extreme or dangerous outdoor sports lol
Thanks a lot for sharing this little matrix with us. I think it's really useful, even though I always thought the same wilhb81 did: I thought O- was the rarest blood type Now I see I was mistaken
Not sure, which is rarest. But I guess B+ is the most common. Well, i m B+ to, so always try to be positive
