Erythrocyte concentrates transfusions
|
For erythrocyte concentrates transfusions, ABO and Rh(D) compatibility are as follows:
A patient
From group |
can receive blood from a donor from group |
| 1rd choice |
2rd choice |
3rd choice |
4rd choice |
| AB |

• Per tant, tal com es pot observar a la taula anterior, una persona del grup AB és un receptor universal perquè pot rebre sang de qualsevol altra persona, mentre que una persona del grup O és un donant universal perquè pot donar sang a qualsevol altra persona.

Plasma Transfusions
|
For plasma transfusions, the ABO and Rh(D) compatibility that has to be considered is very different and only affects the ABO group:
A patient
From group |
can receive plasma from a donor from group |
| 1nd choice |
2nd choice |
3nd choice |
4nd choice |
| AB |

• In plasma transfusions, group O is the “universal receiver” as it can receive plasma from any of the other groups, while group AB is the “universal donor” as it can be given to a patient of any blood group.
Rh(D) compatibility is not taken into account in plasma transfusions.

Platelet Transfusions
|
For platelet transfusions, ABO and Rh(D) compatibility are as follows:
A patient
From group |
can receive platelets from a donor from group |
| 1rd choice |
2rd choice |
3rd choice |
4rd choice |
| AB |

• Rh compatibility in platelet transfusions is as for erythrocyte concentrates. However, in Rh-negative patients who receive platelets from Rh-positive donors, anti-Rh(D) immunoglobulin can be administered after the transfusion to avoid immunity problems, especially in young women who may be pregnant.
