In o+ a rhesus factor is present this most at times affects the female an O- lady cannot get married to an o+ man because when she is pregnant the man's blood which is O+ floes through d placenta to the baby killing it instantly this is the cause of some miscarriages d rhesus factor was first discorvered in monkeys

Blood is grouped into four types: A, B, AB, and O. Each type is also classified by an RH factor – either positive ( + ) or negative ( - ). When a blood transfusion is necessary, donor and patient blood must be compatible. If not, the patient’s body will react to the incompatible donor cells, leading to complications, maybe even death.

Your ABO blood grouping and Rh factor are inherited from your parents. Check the chart below to see what percentage of the population shares your ABO grouping.

O +    37%          O-    6%
A+    34%          A-    6%
B+    10%          B-    2%
AB+    4%          AB-    1%

When you donate, United Blood Services will send you a card with your blood type. Whatever type you are, someone in the community can benefit from your blood donation. Donate today. You’ll feel terrific!

I answer to the question is YES. In blood grouping, we have two types blood grouping called Positive and Negative, in other word refered as Rhesus "D" blood grouping. Understanding your type is essential as many people ignorantly faced complications as a result of reaction. We have the following:
A+
B+
AB+=(Universal Receipient)
O+ =(Universal donor)

A-
B-
AB-=(Universal Receipient)
O- =(Universal donor)
Note: The universal donor and receipient are applicable to their respective group ie Positive or Negative respectively.

GROUPING: DONATION
A+ = A+only
B+ = B+ only
AB+ = A+, B+ AB+ only
O+ = A+, B+, Ab+, and O+. That is why its refered as Universal Donor. It donAte to all of the same R"D" type.

RECEIVING:
A+ receives from O+, AB+ and A+ only
B+ receives from O+, AB+ and B+ only
AB+ receives from O+, A+, B+ and AB+. = It receives from all of the same Rhesus "D" type.
O+ receives from O+ (itself) only

This formular is equally applicable to Negative blood grouping.

NOTE: Avoid the combination of both positive and negative i.e O+ = O-

However, the only condition for both combination includes:
1. if the patient posses a Negative blood group and the type could not found at the point of death
2. if the patient is a male child
3. if the patient is a female above or has stop given birth, otherwise the female will not conceive.

In addition to what has been said on this i want to add that there is what is called Rh Incompatibility/Isoimmunization-a Rhesus Negative woman getting pregnant for a Rhesus Positive Man;if the foetus inherits the Rhesus Positive blood factor from the father, the Rh- blood of the mother can be sensitized to develop antibodies against the Rh+ factor of the Rh+ blood. The 1st pregnancy MAY escape unhurt, but subsequent pregnancy that has Rh+ blood will be at risk of massive destruction of reb blood cells with resultant intruterine death if the mother was not given Anti D injection after the first baby. Rh- woman can marry Rh+ man she will need to be given Anti D injection after delivery of first pregnacy within 72 hours. There are tets to know the Rh status of the baby in the womb. If the baby is Rh- like the mother , the mother will not need any anti D injection after delivery-Dr Akinwilly

Blood is grouped into four types: A, B, AB, and O. Each type is also classified by an RH factor – either positive ( + ) or negative ( - ). When a blood transfusion is necessary, donor and patient blood must be compatible. If not, the patient’s body will react to the incompatible donor cells, leading to complications, maybe even death.

YES...DR.V is in the house...and got your answers for ya!! Grin

Ain't nothing really just that you can't give each other bloods if needed.

They lack A or B antigens...meaning:

Type 0- is basically the universal donor and can donate blood to any type, where the 0+ cannot..so if you are 0-, you can give blood to your wife but she can't do the same  for you ..but 0+ can be given to any persons with type A,B,..So anyone with type 0+ is really going to have a hard time finding a donor, and that really sucks..



With due respect, I think you got your facts a lil twisted. O+ ppl can only give blood to another O+. He CANNOT give blood to ppl with type A or B blood group due to the Rhesus factor. Only O- can donate their blood to all other blood groups. That is why it is called the Universal Donor. Those with AB blood group on the other hand are known as universal Recepients becoz they can receive blood from all other blood groups. Coming to think of it, it is the O- people who need to be more cautious as not many ppl have O- blood. O+ ppl are rather lucky. Nowdays many are O+. I am O+ myself n i have lotsa ppl i know who are O+. Lucky for me. SmileySmileySmiley

Further implications- (if you choose to have children and assuming that your wife has a rhesus negative {for example, 0 negative} blood group), include the possibility that the baby will have a positive blood group.
If this happens, and the mother is not given appropriate Anti-D immunoglobulin, then there is a risk that the mother will have made rhesus antibodies. These antibodies do not affect the present pregnancy, but if your wife becomes pregnant again, these antibodies will 'attack' the zygote/embryo/fetus- usually resulting in a non viable pregnancy (miscarriage).
So essentially, the different blood groups will not affect the health of you or your wife- it could only potentially affect the viability of future pregnancies....
Hope this helps!




you a very correct analysis of the like problem/effect. kudos.
@posta: u can see ur doc. for further explaation but this guy have done a good job to ur question.
