Raelene Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Oh phooey, so sorry we are AB positive. I know that AB negative is quite uncommon, so please if you are AB negative, please do consider donating. Hoping things are going to be okay.

tlc Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I'm O neg and a regular donor. Can't a person with AB neg blood recieve O neg blood? They always tell me at the blood clinic my blood can go to anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisey Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 (edited) I'm an O negative as well. I believe that ours can go to anyone but we can only receive O negative.... ETA- I will donate on Wednesday when they are near my work :) Edited September 10, 2012 by Lisey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weasels Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I thought AB was a 'universal acceptor', so they should be able to receive from anyone with RH- blood (?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelleva Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I'm O neg and a regular donor. Can't a person with AB neg blood recieve O neg blood? They always tell me at the blood clinic my blood can go to anyone. I've always been told that too. I haven't been able to donate due to a root canal thats not finished. But thats nearly done then I'll be back on board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chocolatelover Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 I work in a transfusion lab - AB neg can have A neg, B neg, O neg or AB neg with no ill effects. A negative person can even have positive blood provided they have no antibodies and are not a female in child bearing age. It is usually the O neg people that get into strife. Maybe there is just an overall shortage, which often happens, especially as it is flu season. The person may also have antibodies which makes matching blood more difficult. Hope they find suitable blood whatever the case!! Keetamouse - the RH negative is just the negative bit. You would also be either A, B, AB or O. An O negative person would be O (Rh)D negative.

An O negative person would be O (Rh)D negative. I have no idea what goes with what but was given a card decades ago with just RH negative on it, is good to know what you have listed.
