Q:

Blood group compatibility for marriage?

Answer

Matching blood group before marriage is important. This is to prevent Rh incompatibility. Rh incompatibility can lead to erythroblastosis fetalis (Hemolytic disease of the newborn-HDN). Fetal RBC gets destroyed & newborn may get severe anaemia, jaundice. This jaundice is more severe than Physiological jaundice ( which is the most common and will usually resolve on its own).


 


In very severe form, a fetus may die due to heart failure. This is mediated by the antigen-antibodies reaction. Transfer of maternal antibodies across the placenta occurs. This happens when Rh +ve man marries Rh-ve lady.


  


So Rh +ve man should try to avoid marrying Rh-ve lady.


 


Matching blood groups for marriage ::


Boy : A = Girl : A & AB 


Boy : B = Girl : B & AB 


Boy : O = Girl : O, A, B & AB 


Boy : AB = Girl : AB 


Boy : Rh+ve = Girl : Rh+ve 


Boy : Rh-ve = Girl : Rh+ve & Rh-ve.


  


Blood groups that do not match for marriage ::


Boy : A = Girl : O & B 


Boy : B = Girl : O & A 


Boy : AB = Girl : O, A & B 


Boy : Rh+ve = Girl : Rh-ve.

Q:

A universal recipient blood group belongs to

A) O B) A
C) B D) AB
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) AB

Explanation:

In transfusions of packed red blood cells, individuals with type O Rh D negative blood are often called universal donors. Those with type AB Rh D positive blood are called universal recipients.

The immune system of a person with AB blood will accept blood from all possible donors, whether they have O, A, B, or AB blood. Since both A and B antigens are present in a person with AB blood, the recipient won't reject the blood. The body identifies that blood as "self" rather than "foreign."
