Blood types?

Question

What are the blood types available for human beings

Answer 1

A, A+, B, B+, AB, AB+, O and O+ Are the major blood groups. Rh factor is the negitive after the major blood type. Example A-
Within these blood types are rare sub groups and there are hundreds of sub types. Here is a example of a few. Oh

The Definition of a Typical Rare Blood Type

As an example of the difficulties of rare Blood, from the perspective of an actual person having a rare Blood type, following here is, stated in the most simple of terms practical, a typical rare Blood type (yours and mine is likely simply O+):

O Rh negative: D- C-E-c+e+, M+S-, Le(a-), K-, Fy(a+b-), Jk(a+b-) CMV-



This means that the individual is negative in the type A and B, so therefore Blood type O. There is no sign of the Rh factor. Then comes the list of stuff that hardly anyone knows about, except Blood researchers:


does not have the D factor
does not have the C factor
does not have the E factor
does have the c factor
does have the e factor
does have the M factor
does not have the S factor
does not have the Le(a) factor
does not have the K factor
does have the Fy(a) factor
does not have the Fy(b) factor
does have the Jk(a) factor
does not have the Jk(b) factor
Rare Traits
Medical research shows African Americans have some rare blood traits that are found only in their population. That is why in some instances African American patients need blood from other African Americans.

See the chart below for a list of the rare blood traits and the probabilities of finding people whose blood has those traits.

The following chart shows the probability of finding rare blood traits in African American and Caucasian blood.

Rarest Blood Traits
Rare Trait
(Negative from Factor)
Probability of Finding Rare Trait
In Caucasian Population In African American Population
U None Found 1 in 250
Js(b) None Found 1 in 319
Cr(a) None Found 1 in 6, 429
At(a) None Found 1 in 16, 400
Rh17 None Found Not established (extremely rare)
Jk(b) 2 out of every 10 donors 5 out of every 10 donors
Fy(a) 3 out of every 10 donors 9 out of every 10 donors
Fy(b) 1 out of every 10 donors 8 out of every 10 donors


Research Show

One out of three people will need a blood transfusion in their lifetime.
African American patients with diseases such as sickle cell anemia are less likely to produce antibodies to blood donated from other African Americans.
There are routine shortages of O and B blood types. African Americans have more type O and B blood than other populations.
Because there are some rare blood antigens (U-negative, Duffy-negative and Jk(b) negative) unique to African-Americans it is hard to find compatible blood types for some patients. Often their best match is a transfusion which comes from another African American donor.
Giving blood is safe, simple, and it saves lives. No one can get AIDS or any other disease from giving blood! Only sterile, disposable needles and blood bags are used to collect blood.

U.S. Blood-type Distribution

** NOTE: Recent Blood research indicates that, for instance, where a person with type O negative Blood was considered to be a 'universal donor,' this may no longer be correct, because of a better understanding of the complex issues of immune reactions related to incompatible donor Blood cells.

Answer 2

Groups - A,B,AB and O, each then being +ve or -ve.
Whole blood, packed cells, platelets concentrate, fresh frozen plasma, Cryoprecipitate, Factor VIII Concentrate.

A, A-. B, B-,0, 0-, AB, AB+, AB- 0 is universual

Answer 5

A, B, AB, O and then you have to figure rh positive or negitive for each....
