Blood types are determined by the presence or absence of specific antigens on red blood cells. The ABO system (A, B, AB, O) and Rh factor (+ or -) create eight possible blood types. Each type has unique characteristics that determine compatibility for transfusions and organ transplants.
Blood type compatibility is crucial for safe transfusions. Incompatible blood can trigger severe immune reactions, leading to complications like hemolysis, kidney failure, or even death. This tool helps prevent such risks by quickly determining safe donor-recipient combinations.
This tool provides instant compatibility checks, reducing human error in blood matching. It's invaluable for emergency situations, blood bank management, and medical education. The clear results help healthcare professionals make informed decisions quickly and confidently.
O- is the universal donor, while AB+ is the universal recipient. However, it's always best to use the same blood type when possible. In emergencies, O- blood can be given to anyone, and AB+ patients can receive any blood type, making these types particularly valuable in blood banks.
