BLOOD TYPES

We have different blood types according to the antigens in our blood cells. There are four
main blood groups: O, A, B, and AB. Some also have a substance called Rh factor in our red
blood cells. Those who have Rh factor are Rh positive, and those who don’t, are Rh
negative. This is why you hear blood type referred to as O positive (O+) or B negative (B-).
As an example, if you’re Rh positive, you can receive positive or negative blood. If you’re
Rh negative, you can only receive Rh negative blood. It’s important that the blood used in
a transfusion works with your own blood type. If it doesn’t, your own antibodies will
attack the new blood and make you sick. People who have type O (-) blood are called
universal donors because type O- blood is safe for almost everyone to receive. Type O (-)
blood is used in emergency situations when there’s no time to test a person’s blood type.
People with type AB(+) blood are called universal recipients because they can receive
almost any type of blood transfusion.

Blood components

Even though we don’t all have the same blood type, our blood is made up of the same
components. Blood consists of solid and liquid parts. The solid part contains red and white
blood cells and platelets. Red blood cells transport oxygen. White blood cells help fight
infection. Platelets help your blood clot. The liquid part is called plasma. It contains water,
proteins, and salts. If you’re receiving transfusion therapy, you may only need certain
parts of blood. For example, people with sickle cell disease may only need red blood cells
while someone with leukemia may require platelets transfusions.
