AB positive blood type is known as the universal recipient because AB positive patients can receive red blood cells from all blood types. But a few days after her admission, the doctors told Francisca that blood tests had revealed that she had a rare blood type, shared by 0.2 percent of the white population: Lutheran B-negative. these can form tons of micro clots which can get stuck in the small blood vessels of your body and be life threatening. Those with O-type blood can give red blood cells to anyone. If you were RH negative, and the baby rH positive, and your blood came into contact with babies, your blood would not be able to tolerate the "foreign" positive antibodies from the baby, which would cause your blood to "agglutinate", or create these sticky clumps around them to seal them off and protect your body from them. if you are RH positive, your body will be able to tolerate exposure to both positive and negative blood, as it too has the antibodies and won't reject them in the positive blood, and the negative blood won't contain any to clash with them. ![]() ![]() when you are RH positive (regardless of ABO) your blood cells contain certain antibodies, where RH negative types do not. ![]()
