Your body will attack the new blood cells as if they were pathogens. The presence of antigens in the donated blood that are absent from the patient's own body causes the patient's immune system to see the donated blood as "non-self." The patient's immune system will attempt to destroy the donated blood cells, and therefore the donated blood will never fulfill its intended purpose of bolstering the amount of functioning blood cells in the patient's body.

Wrong Blood Type Transfusion

Well, there is a difference in different blood type versus incompatible blood type... Most hospital have protocols stating type specific blood must be given if available. For type AB patients the next alternative is then type A -- even though type B would not hurt them. As long as compatible blood is given, there should be no problem. If ABO incompatible blood is given the patient will most certainly die. As little as 1 ml of ABO incompatible blood will start an irreversable chain of events that will lead to the patient expiring.

The more serious and immediate problem is that the transfused blood can clump in your blood stream, blocking capillaries and leading to death. That's basically how they ultimately discovered blood types and their importance in transfusions: sometimes they worked and sometimes the person getting the transfusion died.

It is dangerous if you receive a wrong type blood during a transfusion because in your blood weasels appears coagulation, and thrombus which can stop circulation in your brain, heart.. and cause death.

the wrong blood will be rejected by the body and will be thrown out of the system. it's like you never had a blood transfusion in the 1st place..

Antibodies will attack the red blood cells, resulting in fever, chills, body ache, elevated heart rate, low blood pressure, and kidney damage.

Incompatible blood cells will aggregate (start to clump together) for the reasons many people listed.

Blood starts to agglutinate and in a weeks time causes the latter to die.

IF WRONG BLOOD TYPE IS GIVEN DURING TRANFUSION,ANTIBODIES ARE PRODUCED AGAINST THOSE RBC'S AND THEN THE RBC'S OF THE WRONG BLOOD TYPE GET DESTROYED.
