@@jimmysuros6302 great question. Sounds like something I read in some vampire romances...but SCARY! Why would someone want to change blood types? That is an honest question, not me being sarcastic. I love to learn.
Almost 60 years ago, when I was an infant, I needed AB- blood. A man came from halfway across Texas to where I was in the hospital in Houston, to donate for me. I wouldn't be alive and enjoying my first grandchild, if it hadn't been for that man. To those who've commented that my blood donor driving across Texas in 1963 was ridiculous, since AB- can receive A-, B- or 0-, my mom said that the doctors insisted on it because I have some sort of weird antigen or factor, and that as I'd nearly died several times during those 6 weeks, "close enough" wasn't something they were willing to risk.
A girl I know has a rare genetic condition that causes her to produce way too many platelets and red blood cells. They only treatment is for her to donate blood. She generally donates every 2-3 weeks to stay healthy. She has saved countless lives while also saving her own.
Oh. I'm not sure....would I feel sad that someone was so injured / unwell they needed my blood? Or glad it was there to be used? I'm conflicted on that.
That is awesome! I often wonder if they ever get around to using mine - I donate and that's the last of it, doesn't call, doesn't write and certainly doesn't text me! Swedish blood has mad skills! :p
Canadian here. Lived in Australia for ten years. I'm A- so kind of rare but can be swapped for other types so not so bad. Was donating blood a lot there, and one day I got a call. Turns out as I was Canadian I hadn't had some typical Australian disease that created a dangerous condition for babies receiving blood. Since I wasn't Australian they wanted my blood for a baby that was in need of an operation. So as soon as I donated, the blood was off to the hospital. It was the first time in my donating history that I felt a real connection to a donor, and it drove home how important blood donation was.
@alexandraathay Blood banks here in Australia are extremely ethical. I used to be a donor before a chronic illness ruled me out. Bllood banks screen donors very thoroughly. They would never have called this person if the need wasn't genuine.
When I was in my twenties I was matched to a child with leukemia. Every time this child has surgery scheduled I was called to donate blood or bone marrow. The calls came closer together one year then stopped. The Red Cross couldn’t tell me why but it was obvious.
I have a rare blood type, not Rh Null rare, but rare. I know this because I was on call with the local hospital in the UK as a blood donor. I wasn't called often but they were quite desperate when they called. I moved to Canada and they US and I'm considered a risk for being a carrier of Creutzfeld-Jacobs Disease (human variant of mad cow disease) because I lived the UK prior 1997. So I'm now potentially someone who could need a donor of my blood type but not allowed to donate blood anymore. When I go home to England, I often donate there still. At least someone will take my blood.
I donated blood once they told me I was O-neg. A few weeks later the people sent me a letter with a card from the parents of a little boy that was in an accident. They said my blood was used to save his life and wanted to thank me. I will never forget that card.
O- is the TRULY most useful blood type. (Yeah, AB- is rare, but it''s the "universal recipient, usually.) Donate as often as you can! My husband got a special shirt that stated how many GALLONS he's donated.
I'm an RN and I have heard of rh null before, but this is the best YT video I have seen with the most information. RH null is so fascinating but so difficult for those who have it. I admire those who donate and don't blame those who don't. I have never received a transfusion but think of all the units I've given over my career, I have no idea how many. I worked in ICU and trauma, so lots. My deep thanks to the donors, you have made a real difference in people's lives.
Some facts mixed with propaganda... Surgeons have done brain surgery without blood ..there are substitutes more safer . Most common type is saline solution!!
As a O neg. donor it has always been an honor to be able to help people. But the hospitals who charge the recipients huge sums for the blood I gave makes me angry beyond words.
I have a brother with O negative blood (I'm O positive myself, as are both our parents, so recessive gene, it seems) and he always donated blood frequently when we spoke frequently
@Carla Rowland my sister is the one that almost all blood types can take. I have the other o. Can't remember which one is which. Our mother has AB and we have different fathers so I guess we got our blood types from them.
I'm A-, and as such my red cells are high demand. So high, they always do what is called a double red donation. They hook you up to a machine just like what is used for dialysis and just keep the red cells, returning everything else, plus adding saline to make up for volume lost. To do a double red, your hemoglobin count needs to be over 14.8, preferably closer to 16. You can only donate every 4 months and every 4 donations you need to skip the next 2 before being able to donate again. Even with the high hemoglobin count, it takes a lot out of you and can take 2 to 3 weeks before you feel back to normal. It's recommended to binge on high iron foods for up to a week before and at least 5 days after donating a double.
What an amazing thing you are doing. It sounds like a big hassle but that blood saves many lives. It’s like being in the military. Thank you for your service.❤❤❤❤❤
@FrancesLocke As far as a diet, chili with meat and beans, spinach, liver, and cashews are all high iron sources. Women have to be closer to 15.3 hemoglobin and have minimum height and weight requirements in order to do double red cell donations. Check with your local blood center or blood bank. Even if you can only donate whole blood, they will gladly take you. As always, partake in the offered drinks and snacks afterwards. They don't want you getting dizzy or even passing out before you leave.
My brother and I both have A+ blood. We had an almost perfect match (4 out of 6 antigens matched) when I donated one of my kidneys to him 24 years ago. We are both in good health today!
I’m alive today because of blood transfusions. I’m a two time survivor of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma which is a type of blood cancer and I needed so many transfusions to beat the cancer that I lost count. I want to donate blood and other blood products so badly, but I’m not eligible to donate blood due to having had blood cancer. Instead of being able to donate myself I became a junior ambassador for Red Cross Australia when I was in high school, in one year I was able to get around 150 people to donate blood at least once by sharing my story, having a living example of why donating blood is so important right in front of someone helped people that wouldn’t have donated because of something like a fear of needles to overcome their fear to save lives.

@@wengli3783 thank you for wanting to be brave, I know that needles are a very big and ligit fear for a lot of people and it takes a lot of courage to something that you are afraid of doing. 💕 I know it would mean a lot to at least 3 people (every time you donate blood it is split into three bags for donation so every time you donate you have the potential to save 3 lives), and along with those 3 people who you will have helped save, every person who loves them will be immensely grateful too. Wishing you all the best and thank you so much for even just taking the time to rethink if this is something you think you can do. Even if this time around you don’t make it in the door, next time you rethink it you might, and the time after that who know maybe you become a lifetime regular donor ❤️
I am related to someone who is RH-Negative and they absolutely refuse to donate blood because it's 'their blood'. It got to the point that they were paranoid about going to the doctor and having their blood 'stolen'. And yet, that same person needed a surgery once, but there was no blood for a transfusion and it was a mess. So glad I've got one of the most common blood types.
@@pintdinkler7521that's probably the reason they claim not to know where this bloodline comes from . They have been hiding the fallen angels and nephillians from us for years as well . Also think of the book of Enoch that was removed for this very reason as well. They know what their doing . Yes I also believe this is a reptilian blood , more than likely these giants are still breeding w humans . A huge percentage of celebrities and the elites also have this bloodline as well
Clearly your father was/is a very generous man with a compassionate heart. A tremendous blessing for each patient receiving his blood or blood products.
When my dad worked in Cornwall, England for a while, like 45 years ago, he is a pediatrician, there was a baby who needed blood and was RH Null blood type. They had to get someone all the way from Italy to donate blood. Just thought I would share!
Years ago I worked as a Cardiovascular Unit nurse. We admit patients scheduled for bypass. We have a checklist we follow to make sure the surgery goes smoothly the next day (usually, these patients come in a day prior to the procedure). Loads of stuff we have to do; making sure they have all the blood works done, their medications and history properly listed, ECG and other test results ready at hand (especially the copy of their recent angiogram!), inform all the doctors that are going to be involved that the patient has arrived so they can all do their rounds before the actual procedure (mind you, there are LOADS. They will have a complete line-up including the cardiothoracic surgeon, the cardiologist, the cardiologist who will perform the intra-op transoesophageal echocardiogram (TEE), a pulmonologist, a nephrologist… you name it. Not to mention, they will immediately go to CCU post-op so they will be under the care of an intensivist too). Besides these, we have to complete the necessary paperwork and phone calls. The most important is making sure that we inform the lab and ask them to prepare 4 units each of PRBC, FFP, and platelets. CABG is a big surgery, so those units are just the required BARE minimum. I admitted a patient for said CABG procedure and I was working nights. Working a night shift with a pre-op CABG patient is pretty hectic because you’re tasked to make sure that everything is complete. One of those things is making certain the 4 units of each blood product required are complete and reserved for the patient that night. This patient of mine came in and my whole night had been non-stop phone calls and updates from the lab. He’s O- and his blood type was so rare that the lab couldn’t complete his blood units on time. The procedure was then cancelled because we couldn’t find the rest in time for the CABG. I remember getting so tensed throughout the shift just wishing they’d find him more blood. But life works in mysterious ways. It was his saving grace. The holding of the procedure saved his life. Turns out, the morning he was supposed to have the bypass, he suffered a stroke. I distinctly remember passing by his room and apologising we couldn’t get his blood on time, and him still being light-hearted about it. I also distinctly remember, as I was on my way out of the hospital, I heard the hospital speaker system saying “Brain Attack Team to CVU, now”. Turns out, he was that patient. Just thinking about it gave me goosebumps. Imagine if we got the blood and he underwent the procedure that day, he would have suffered a stroke on the table and most likely he wouldn’t have survived. After the stroke, he stayed in the hospital for more rehab until it was safe for him to get the bypass. I am pleased to say he survived. ❤
I have chronic anaemia, and I urge everyone to donate blood if permitted. Without those unnamed generous strangers, I would probably not be alive. Your blood can and has saved millions of family. I thank each and everyone of you Heroes who have donated !!
There was a man in Australia who gave the golden blood to new borns he had an exemption from going to war, by the time he was in his 80s the Dr told him he couldn’t anymore because of his age he was so sad about that. You can actually read about him .
That's a conspiracy theory. They believe that the RH Null blood type is from alien DNA and came from ancient aliens from other planets across the universe.
It's not that he had golden blood, he was called "The man with the golden arm" - James Harrison He had an incredibly strong anti-D, which could be given to pregnant D negative mothers to prevent them from creating their own anti-D and attacking their unborn.
I’m O-Positive. I started donating blood the day I turned 16. With various pauses I have donated over my entire life. I’m 60 now. I have given both whole blood and platelets since the age of 20. My beef with giving platelets is that if you give two units of platelets at a time, it only counts as one donation. 3-4 hours on the machine for 1 donation. It should count as two. Most of my platelet donations have been doubles where I’ve matched a patient needing platelets. It gets a tad bit irritating when you spend so much time and don’t get the proper credit for your time. They should at least credit you properly two for two.
Agreed. I donated my blood for a friend in 1991. I wasn’t a match for her, but I stalked by the hospital ( Hoag Newport Beach Ca.) for @ least 25 years, for WEEKLY donations because apparently I have “Golden Blood “. Nope 👎, hospital’s charge astronomical amounts of money for a transfusion IF you have healthcare insurance. SO nope 👎 again for MY FREE weekly donations.
@@barbaraharp6836 I had a surgery in the 70's in Hoag, my aunt donated on my behalf. When I found out the Red Cross charges for my donations, I quit donating blood. I do understand there is equipment, personel and storage costs. I just don't believe blood banks are not making a profit, however, I have no proof.
My mother had RH Null. She almost died on 3 separate occasions because of hemorrhaging and had to have blood flown in from all over the east coast and luckily survived before running out of donor supply.
LOL, well with only three videos they have a very long way to go to even be considered in the same class! Still, their foundation is starting out to be very compelling.
@@kevinm3751 He was speaking in the future tense, saying he hopes that it does get to that level eventually. Nobody was ever implying it was already there. It of course needs time to gain traction and release new content before it will be. However, there is no question that the substance of this new channel is top quality. A worthy companion channel to Real Engineering.
I'm Rh negative and had to get the rogam shot while pregnant. Could the Rh factor's effect on pregnancy possibly be covered in a video please? Also, I find it interesting that few people actually know what their blood type is when it could be important. I think people need to be aware of why it's important to know what blood type they have, mostly to avoid any complications
I work as a biomedical scientist dealing with blood transfusion and blood products it baffles me how many expecting mothers who are Rh- arent told or explained why the anti-D shots (Rogam) are necessary when their baby's predicted Rh is Rh+ There needs to be more education about this since it affects so many people
We had a neighbor who had 2 little childrenwith rh blood factor issues. The little boy was mentally very slow and the little girl had 2 thumbs on each hand, one thumb atop the other. My mother told me it was because of their mother’s blood type.
Having work for the Red Cross in the blood distribution, I would love to see a further video on the difference between packed cells, serum, and derivatives such as platelets. I think people would be interested in that. And that you can donates only red cells are only platelets without losing your own blood volume. And platelets are definitely needed as they have a pretty short lifespan outside the body. Platelets are basically your clotting factors in your blood that keep you from bleeding out if you get cut. So you can see how important they are in surgeries.
When i was really young i asked my dad what it means that i have 0- . He told me i was a special vampire.. haha. I love my dad to much Edit: AYYY WE REACHED 100+ COMMENTS
@@rachel8006 I mean... yeah... But I think he meant in other ways too... like in terms of laws and policies.... for example, that guy who had this blood type had to get off of work to save that baby's life yet he would have to face wtv consequences for it... There could be laws that support individuals with this blood type... And also, even if they paid sm for donating, they can't donate above a certain limit cuz their RBCs deteriorate faster so 1- the stored blood might become unusable sooner (ig) 2- they could become anemic much quicker than an average individual who would have donated too much blood (ig) I'm guessing the last 2 points using logic... I'm not a doctor or something so I could be partly or completely wrong.
lisi koshy I think the most logical would be that when it is needed, they are then compensated for travel, time off work and their time. They wouldn’t have the burden of losing blood and becoming anemic unless necessary, and it would always be fresh blood.
For the 40 odd people in the world with Rh-null blood who are "on-call" for their whole lives, their acts of kindness should not be at their own expense! If some countries' laws won't allow for their expenses to be reimbursed, then surely the patient's family should be paying for them. The money is nothing compared to the life the donor is saving!
I can understand not allowing a price on their blood but not reimbursing for lost work, transportation, etc??? I would like to know exactly who made such a law and why....
I have this blood type no joke. Is also called the fake O- because I can pass as an O- in a basic exam and in other I can apparently have all blood types. Even the doctors advised my parents to only say O- My mom is A+ My dad is O+ My sister is A+ So I should be O+ But they were like wait you can’t be O- and years later because of a DNA exam they found out my blood type. I have so many problems related with my immune system like fevers, inflammations, rashes etc Many people have this blood type in reality but because not everybody needs a blood transfusion you never found out or the ones that donate as O- can pass unsuspected The lab that made my exam for my drivers license found out that my blood type was special but I said oh that’s because I received a transfusion If you’re wondering how I do if I need blood Each year we freeze my own blood but only 20% of that can be use So yeah if not that super extremely rare like there’s more than 43 people One curios thing is that I suffered meningitis 6 days after I was born and later we found out it wasn’t meningitis it was my mom blood and mine fighting The Rh Null is rare because not many people survive with it so the genes don’t pass as easy as other types A lot of pregnancies with a Rh Null fetus end up in miscarriage because the mothers immune system rejects the baby (can also happen with the most common blood types) The true part is yeah no one can know because it’s very valuable I’m here very anonymously A lot of people that have this blood type prefer to stay quiet and donate as O- But Some donate a Rh Null when needed I have met other Rh Nulls and other rare blood donors Please donate Give blood is giving life
I remember seeing a story of a guy who was 80 at the time who had rh null blood. He donated blood as often as he could safely it was every few weeks I think. He saved so many lives
You are probably thinking of James Harrison. A lot of media picked up his story when he retired from donating plasma for a specialist Australian Lifeblood programme. He did not have Rhnull blood but was RhD negative with a high titre of antibodies to D. His plasma was pooled with similar others to make anti-D (RhoGAM in US). Plasma can be donated by apheresis every two weeks, as the plasma is removed and the red cells returned so no loss of iron. The donation interval for whole blood donations is a lot longer bcause the lost iron has to be recouped. People who are Rh negtive are absent their D antigen (and a few others) but have other Rh antigens whereas people who are Rhnull are absent all of Rh antigens, currently known 56. To be Rhnull is very rare but amongst whites being Rh negative is common, an average frequency in that population of 17%.
I'm also A negative. Needed a transfusion a couple of weeks ago and they told me I was lucky they had a couple of bags. Didn't know my blood type was that rare.
@@Sunstreaky00 Yeah, Id been told it was, and looking into it A- can only recieve A- and O- it looks like. There was a website I stumbled on called the "blood connection .org" that claims 6% of the population has A- blood type.
They told me that too. And then they said id have to pay to do a full thing and i was like huh? When I had my baby they mention it in oassing but as youre hopped up on painkillers youre lucky if you remember
It's so true. Both my mom and I get swarmed by mosquitos and we're the O+ blood type. My dad who isn't (we think he and his twin brother are A+) generally gets ignored compared to us.
Hello! I’m a clinical laboratory science student, and I just want to say I absolutely love this video. My favorite clinical rotation so far was the blood bank, so I really enjoyed listening to this video! You’ve made basic immunohematology more accessible to the lay population! I just wanted to mention a few clarifications and additions: At 2:23 A antibodies or anti-B antibodies are mentioned, along with B antibodies/anti-A antibodies. While this is correct, in the blood bank we prefer to use the terms anti-A antibodies and Anti-B antibodies, because that terminology indicates the antigen to which the antibody attaches. Often times, we leave out the term antibody, and we just say “anti-A,” for example, in the lab. At 4:55 a table of donor/patient compatibility comes up. This is only in the context of donating red blood cells, as donating plasma would have a different compatibility chart. At 5:47 the fact that most antigen-antibody reactions don’t occur often is mentioned. The video says that this is because a lot of the antigens are shared amongst the human population. While there are quite a few high incidence antigens, this isn’t the only reason we don’t really need to worry too much about our other antigens. At the beginning, the video mentions how group A people have anti-B antibodies and group B people have anti A antibodies. These antibodies naturally form in the body a few months after birth, whether or not the baby ever had an intrauterine or exchange transfusion. However, for other blood group systems, you can only develop the antibodies after you’ve been exposed to the antigen (i.e. if you’ve had a transfusion with blood containing a foreign antigen). So you can only develop anti-D antibodies if you’re Rh D negative and had a transfusion with D positive blood. You can also develop antibodies through pregnancy, but if I explain that, this would become way too long haha. And even if you are exposed, if it’s the first time, it’ll take a while for clinically significant antibodies to form. Therefore, upon first exposure, it’s unlikely that you’ll get a transfusion reaction as long as your ABO is compatible. However, subsequent exposures require more careful testing, since the following exposures will have quick antibody responses within a few days. Nonetheless, this is why it’s sometimes difficult to procure blood for people with diseases like sickle cell anemia, since they require transfusions often. At my hospital, the protocol we have for patients with sickle cell is to go ahead and provide blood that is at least antigen matched for ABO and the major Rh antigens (not just RhD). At 7:37 it’s stated that fresh blood has a shelf life of 4 weeks. While that is true, it depends on the anticoagulant used. Citrate phosphate dextrose (CPD) only preserves it for 21 days, but CPD with adenine preserves it for 35. There are other coagulants called additive solutions that can extend the shelf life to 42 days. While I don’t know what the other foreign hospitals use, at my hospital we usually either get blood that has CPD with adenine or an additive solution. Granted, if you freeze the blood at temperatures less than -65 degrees Celsius, it can be kept for 10 years, and they can be transported in a frozen state, though I imagine that it’s more costly to do so. Granted, freezing can damage the red blood cells (RBCs) a little bit, and with the increased osmotic fragility of Rh null RBCs, I’m not quite sure if those preservation time limits apply to that specific group. At 8:59 the osmotic fragility of Rh null RBCs is mentioned, and that leads to an inability to donate as often. This is true, and the symptoms the video mentions are also common symptoms of anemia. However, I believe in cases of Rh null, their anemia is compensated, meaning that they make up for their fragile RBCs by producing them more frequently than the rest of the population. This usually makes the anemia asymptomatic. Now I want to mention that I’m not completely sure about that one though, so don’t quote me on that. At 11:02 whole blood donation is mentioned. I just want to add that what they were able to do with all that blood in a short time is amazing, since donating whole blood is different from donating RBCs. When donating whole blood, you can’t just be ABO compatible. You have to be ABO IDENTICAL, because the whole blood also contains plasma antibodies. The fact that they were still able to save as many lives as they did with whole blood is amazing. Finally, I just want to end this with a plea for people to donate. I remember reading somewhere that around 35% of the U.S. population is eligible for donation, but only 5% of those eligible actually donate. So if you can, please donate! As long as there is illness and injury, there will always be a need for blood, and having a reliable stock of blood is always comforting to those of us who work in a blood bank, so I implore you all to donate the next time you see a local blood drive! And for those who already donate, it’s because of donors like you that we can provide the blood necessary to help our patients. So thank you for your contribution, and I hope you will continue to donate in the future! For those who actually read all the way to the end, thank you, and I hope you’ll find it in you to donate as well!
@@JamesLucas21 Then don't. No need to hate. And if ever a time will come that you might need blood for yourself, never plea for it from others all same though. Lol
Justin R didn’t know some of that stuff (but only a firstie med student so it’s to be expected that I know next to nothing). As someone who has tried the freeze it method for and is a null it doesn’t work well at all. Like at all.
My son had severe aplastic anemia . It was so severe that he needed blood every 4 days for almost 8 months . Luckily his bloody type is AB+ this past February has had to have a bone marrow transplant , I was his half match donor and same blood type . I am really grateful for all the blood he had received from all who has donated ❤
i have a severe case of anemia, sickle cells anemia, and mentioned in the video i need blood transfusions my whole life, but i cant afford it, so ive lost my ability to walk already, damn. i feel i would be useful to my family if i were dead
I hope you're son does well with his post-transplant recovery! I am a BMT survivor (had mine 12 years ago) and also had severe Aplastic Anemia. I was also AB+ and needed platelets about every week and blood every other week. Tried the immune-suppressant therapy first. Turns out, I had a secondary illness called PNH, which was why the immune-suppressant therapy didn't work, and it was attempted twice. Got my marrow from a stranger, though, because no-one in my family was a match. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to donate anything due to said transplant, otherwise I would be donating, as my blood type changed to A- (Bone-Marrow match-ups are according to certain genetic strands in the immune system and not blood types. Even if it was via blood type, I was the only one in my family with AB+ blood). Another funny thing is, my transplant also happened in February. Funny how the universe works, isn't it?
@@furyofthenight8078 it has been 90 days post transplant . His body is taken it well. it has been really rough , during IST he got multiple infection, in the lungs , brain and invasive fungal infection cause by Rhizopus. spent 2 months in ICU and was out on amphotericin b . about 3 months after that the transplant happened and we are so grateful for that . I am glad glad I was able to donate , he had no match in the registry and his biological father is gone . Thank you so much for sharing me your story, I know of all people you know what it’s like . Bless your heart.
My dad was talking about this he’s one of the people that has this rare blood type I believe. He would always talk about how doctors would try to constantly get blood from him and would try to get him to stay longer in the hospital than he need too.
That must suck but is badass to. Doctors:"Um.... sir can we take your blood it's the golden type of blood " Your dad:"How many people have it like me?" Doctors:"42 others on Earth, so......... can we take a little" Your dad:"Is it going to them or you?" Doctors:..........
Allabout Nene I just had surgery and found out I’m one of the people with the RH negative when I gave my blood for pre surgery the hospital called me back in said they wanted to redraw had to retest I asked why they gave me a bogus answer so I declined but it held up my surgery because they was confused on what to do if I needed a transfusion. So I understand what your father is talking about it’s sad how they wanted this blood like it’s money
I don't know my blood type, and have always wanted to give blood since I was young. Unfortunately I was informed I was legally not allowed to give blood because I had ALL Leukemia as a child and fell under the blood disease/disorder clause for donating blood. It broke my heart when I found that out because I have always wanted to give back for all the blood transfusions I received as a child.
I knew about the RH factor only because when a woman is RH negative, she has to get shots or else her body will treat a baby like a virus and attack it. Never the first baby(not sure why) but I've had to get quite a few shots to prevent it
@@sharicola8870 the first baby is not "attacked" because we don't have anti-D antibodies naturally, we start to produce them only when we are exposed for the first time to red blood cells, which are in blood, of a Rh D+ person ( in this case the baby). Antibodies can destroy your baby red cells by activating different mechanisms of your immune system. And yes, an inyection can prevent that.
My sister in law is RH null. She constantly gets harassed by hospitals calling to ask if she can donate. She is also incredibly accident prone. She has been given a transfusion of her own blood once, she had donated it just a few days before! I honestly feel lucky my blood type is common, I don't have to worry!
@@Myst1cPlay7r there is ;/ i find it hard to believe it too but it can definintely be true. they have to be related to somebody, and chances are higher if theyre on a video related to the subject. why say something like this when its not helpful
@@bunnlii "Donor". Yes. O- is universal donor; they can also only receive that same type in return. To have that blood type is also rather risky in a bad situation.
I dont know anyone else in my family who is O- and for that i donated but had to stop due to pregnancy. Always made me happy recieving calls saying how many lives i saved with each donation.
im a blood banker, and have dealt with patients with extremly difficult transfusion needs. its amazing see how things get called out and units can be found and brought in from far away. you'll also know that if a patient has no anti D, and is rh negative. we can give rh positive blood to them in trauma situations where massive ammounts of blood are needed. If blood type is unknown, men tend to be given ) O positive blood, and women over 55 as well. Women of child bearing ages are given O negative blood in any emergency.
Many years ago (about 50 years ago) I was vaccinated for hep A (my step-sister caught it so we all got vaxxed as she was going to recoup with us). If I donated blood would they discard it as it's my understanding they test for hepatitis? I assume all these years later is hep A antibodies are still in my blood.
Rh B negative here . Lost first child didn’t know husband was A positive. My body attacked the fetus and miscarriage. I bled for over 3 months then they finally did a D&C. And discussed with me that they gave me a Rio- gram injection because I am Rh negative B it will enable me to have a child with my husbands blood type the next time
@@guyindecatur Antibodies are not a problem. In my country it is quite common to vaccinate against hep A (combined with hep B). It does not cause a problem. Your antibodies (in your blood) will react to hepatitis if you were to get the disease. It does not mean you already have hepatitis. They do test for hepatitis, but antibodies will not make that test positive. Blood is tested for many diseases to make sure the sick person receiving it, will not become any sicker
I am O- and donated often when I was younger. I like to explain O neg as a universal donor but a very picky receiver. I have chronic anemia from autoimmune diseases and had to receive blood transfusions for the first time last year. I am very grateful to the people who donate currently and wish I still could.
I have a female friend that’s Romanian but lives in UK, she’s also Rh-Null and she has two ID’s for safety of her life, she can’t even work in public to protect herself, the Romanian government gives her monthly salary as if she worked for the state!
I'm always so surprised that in the USA most people don't even know their blood type! I had to have several emergency blood transfusions, and woke up during one of them feeling terrible--turns out I was being transfused with B POSITIVE blood, and I'm B NEGATIVE. I had to argue with the responding nurse who was trying to tell me because it was 'B' it was a match. Trust me, it matters.

According to the chart in the video, about 1/3 of the way in, O+ is only good for other + blood types. Try having O-. EVERYONE can take your blood, but the ONLY blood type you can receive is O-. That is why O- is the universal donor. AB+ is the Universal receiver.
I am O Rh- and lack a significant number of the 61 common antigens. I definitely don't have "golden blood", but it is challenging to have such a low RBC antigen level. This is connected to why I have been anemic for 34 years and must constantly get tested for various blood issues. The tests always indicate that my RBCs are undersized and being destroyed by my body faster than they can be replaced. I have to get IV iron infusions regularly in order to survive. This video has helped clarify the science behind it better than my hematologist did.

I recieved donated blood during a transfusion in 2003. I had suffered an excruciating miscarriage and was hemorrhaging after being sent home from hospital. I went back and was on the verge of death when they finally agreed to sedste me and do a d&c to remove the massive clot that had formed. I remember hearing my heart beating and feeling my pulse througjout my entire body. The next time I got pregnant, they found irregular antibodies in my blood from the previous transfusion. The doctors kept a close eye on it through the pregnancy but luckily everything went smoothly and my beautiful daughter was born perfectly healthy. She is 18yrs old now and in college. Im forever grateful for that blood!❤
@@2112deadsky no I think you meant "Only O- can *recieve* from O-" You said "Only O- can give to O-" which is flat out false, as we can give to any blood type [excluding the Rh null types obviously] so the "All for One, One for all" is weird but we get the idea. More like "One for all, All for none, expect one" but still.. not very catchy.
@@IONE_the_Enby no, they're correct. Only O- can give to O-. You can't say that A+ can give to O-. While you're also correct, and some might say more correct, they're correct as well.
I'm proud of being a donor. I started donating last year, at 20 years old, and when I did it was shortly after my grandma passed away. My mom came with me because after my grandma's death, she realized how many transfusions her own mom had needed to stay alive a few years, and regretted that she had never donated blood. She's now a donor but will only be able to donate for 3 years (roughly 6 donations) because of age restrictions. Fun fact was, she didn't know her own blood type, and when they tested her we found out she's O negative (universal donor) like my grandma was. She's ashamed she didn't donate her whole life, but grandma lived extra years only because other O negative people donated blood. It's really important to donate, I'm glad I'm starting now and I hope to continue until possible.
I’m in UK and am O- so I give blood as much as I can and the transfusion service call me to make an appointment to donate if I don’t rebook. My donations are always coded to go direct to the premature babies (the code is on the bag that is filled). I feel honoured to be able to help. The weird thing is that my mum was O+ and so is my (unidentical) twin sister 🤷🏻♀️
I'm taking a guess your mother had some pregnancy problems while pregnant with you? If the mother is let's say a + and the baby she's carrying is a negative, that can cause problems during the pregnancy. At least from what I've learned.
@@chaseviking5096 She had some problems but I’m not sure if they were related to the difference in rhesus (sp?) factor. She would black-out/collapse. Other than that she was thankfully fine. I think the problems arise if blood crosses the placenta? I was born in 1970 so things will definitely have changed now. At one time there was talk of transfusing the baby in vitro but it’s probably dealt with by drugs now. Even my dad had a different blood type (AB+). I remember I was about 14yo when we were talking about this and I was thinking “What the hell happened in this family!” LOL 😂
@@marieharrisonukif your dad has AB blood and you have O, there's basically 3 options. 1) someone's blood test was wrong and those aren't actually the blood types, 2) he isn't your biological dad and they either used a sperm donor or your mom was with someone else, or 3) your dad has a very rare case of chimerism where he has two different sets of genetic material from an absorbed twin, where the blood/bone marrow is from one genome and the testes are from the other

I live in Korea but Caucasian and have AB- blood. So many people ask about my blood type (personality superstition bs) and 99% have no idea about Rh factor. Major education fail 🤦♀️
Steffie183 In Korea, they learn Rh system in biology during middle school. Who did you talk to? It’s the opposite for me. I’m in grad school at US and was surprised to find that some people don’t know that if you donate the wrong blood type, they could clot up. They said “it’s not much of a problem if you get the wrong blood type anyways.” I was like wha...t...
My father had RH null blood. Rarest in the world. He was a given a plaque for donating blood. He donated several times in his life. Not sure if he also donated for himself.
I’m doing a science report on RH deficiency syndrome (what causes RH-Null blood) and I learned that I’m some cases it can be passed down to the affected’s offspring. Do you know your blood type? If not you may also have it. Also, your father is a great man and one of only 9 active donors in the world for that blood type. Ever. Also, not trying to creep you out if this is right, and you also don’t have to answer this question if you don’t want to, but is your father’s name Thomas? There was an article by Mosaic Science about an RH deficiency syndrome patient named Thomas who was an active donor as well.
I'd question that. Of course it has to be kept refridgerated, and even then blood has to be used or be destroyed if it is not used within a few days or weeks maximum. And please, double check me on this.
@@aletaboyette7097 the peripheral blood last 100-120 days, however when you donate blood, it can be stored at 4°C (45 days averaged) or frozen, (preserved with glycerol and nitrogen last till 10 years). You can store blood for yourself and that is called "Autologus" if you think you'd needed it in a nearly future.
Wrong actually. AB blood type is special in that it is a universal plasma donor. My poor mom found that out the hard way. When I was 5 and got my tonsils removed the doctors asked my mom if they could take my blood when I woke up. WHO DOES THAT TO A 5 YEAR OLD!? Anyway she got mad and made it a point to never tell people my blood type unless absolutely necessary.
I received blood when I had a bleed on the brain as a pre teen. I had had open brain surgery and the doctors accidentally cut through a vein when doing the brain surgery. Thankfully I’m here today due to the doctors and the blood donor(s). However it also means that I cannot give blood. But thank you to all those who have.

I hated my early life because of having this blood type. Never allowed to do anything that had any risk of injury. Had an aunt who would babysit me as often as possible so she could sell my blood without my parents knowledge. Any doctor visits usually had staff lie to my parents and take blood for bogus tests. I did at least luck out with having several mutations that let's me heal ridiculously fast and my blood cells are pretty robust and can donate frequently. To my parents dismay I love riding motorcycles and a friend I was riding with crashed. We were far away from any major hospital and he needed blood because he lost so much in the accident. This little emergency place had no means to get any so I broke my rules of not staying quiet about who I was (nulls are very known to the relevant people) and donated to help him. His was fairly rare itself and no one present could help. I am basically on call for my blood but I do answer that call whenever possible because so few can. It was a curse but later in life it became a blessing at least to me.
People: rh null is rare and there are 42 people in the world that have it Me, an intellectual: have the 42 people to do the sex to boost the number of people with rh null
I hope at least the family would consider to reimburse him, at least the transport, else it would be too much burden place onto single man. Imagine getting called around Europe at moment notice, knowing that if you don't show up someone would die.
@@Verpal It's atleast doable for developed countried but in developing countries like India where average person's income is leaps and bounds below even a ticket to china which is our neighbor , donating blood to someone really far is almost impossible unless some financial aid is provided.
Verpal I don’t have to imagine. Been there done that. What’s even worse is when you decline based on having no money for food let alone a plane ticket across Canada and the family somehow gets your number. Trust me, they are all about you dropping everything but most wont pay a penny to help with costs. The ones who do make an attempt or even a pay schedule since I assume if I have money problems then others do too, I will at least try. Yeah confidential information only means that when nobody needs you. Seriously, pay for my medical schooling, that shits expensive (already 80k in the hole and I’m not even done first year. I also refuse to take out student loans because of the terrible student debt problem here) and I will have a lot more money to spend flying about donating blood. I want to try to make synthetic blood for nulls (so we can stop being harassed at all hours) and to relieve the burden of relying on donations. If we can make blood like we can now grow skin for grafting it has the potential to save a lot of people.

In 2008 when my son was put on the lung transplant list, I was learning the ins and outs of the lung allocation system and I was told about a young woman with 'golden blood' who had to be denied a place on an organ recipient list because of this very reason. It was sad that she had this amazing blood type but couldn't receive a life saving transplant because she couldn't receive her organ ( I want to say it was heart?) from just anyone :( .
They denied her?? Interesting... I'm not sure what type my Mom had, but it was more rare & when they finally put her on the list, she ended up shooting to the top because they found a perfect/almost perfect match with her. It's sad they did not do the same with the lady who you were told about. Transplants save lives.
@@themspinkpanties Rh-null 6:30 Basically they are missing all of the known 61 antigens (the A± B± O± AB± blood types are only 8 of the most common antigen combinations). Rh-null (golden blood) is soooo much more rare.
God bless those who donate blood. I got hit by shrapnel from a vehicle and if I hadn't put my blood type on my plate carrier I might not have been here today. I always donate blood when I can because of the experience.
Good thing you're still around an kicking - though i doubt writing your blood type on your pc made that much difference - from what i know, if they can't assert your blood type right away in critical situations they'll just hit you with 0- which - unless you have one of those very rare blood types - you can always receive.

Most of my life I thought I was A+, so when I was pregnant with my daughter, that is what I told my obgyn. For some reason my Doc didn't believe me and wanted to get my blood tested. I kept telling him after I was born my parents were told A+. I kinda fought him on this til he told me he has a gut feeling that my parents (who were there with me at this appointment) and I were told wrong. My mother than told me to get it done and it doesn't hurt anything (My mother is a big believer in listening to gut feelings). I did the test and boy do I owe him for pushing me, because it saved my daughters life. When my Doc came back out, he pulled my parents and I in a private office and revealed that I am O-. My parents were mortified (lots hugs and sorries were given after the app.) and my Doc then told me I had to get the Rh immunoglobulin shot. For those who don't know you get this shot to prevent my neg blood from possibly hurting/killing my baby if she is born positive, and as luck would have it, she is A+. My husband is A+. So when pregnant and not sure what your blood type is, or if your obgyn has a gut feeling, get your blood tested.
When I get older, I want to donate blood as much as I can. It kills me to hear how many people need blood transfusions and there isn't enough blood. My blood won't necessarily change that alone, but it's a start.
Good for you! Word of advice: eat a balanced diet, be careful of where you travel (they won't accept donations if you have travelled to certain places during certain times), and give yourself time to recover between donations. It takes time for your body to replace what you donate. :) Also, drink lots of water the day before you go in, and a protein filled breakfast the day of. It will make your donation much easier, and less likely to feel lightheaded afterwards.
I know there are some places in Europe where if you donate and it gets used you’ll get a generic text to say that your blood was just used to save a life. Wish we had that here
They should REALLY pay these people when they need them to donate. I understand why they have laws against paying people for donating blood, but they should make exceptions in the laws specifically for Rh null donations.
I had to ask my mom what bloodtype i have for homework, she said "RHA" i was like "that's not even a bloodtype is it?" Now one month later youtube recommends me this
Me- when I was little and just learned of different blood types: I want the most unique blood type! That means I’m special! Me- after learning about bloody types: thank u, next
I'm an RN and I saw a patient once who we started giving a unit of blood to, his type of course, and he still had an adverse reaction to it. VERY scary thing because there really isn't anything you can do. That is why the new rules say that when giving blood the first time you have to start it out slow AND you have to stay right next to them to monitor for signs of a reaction. If they start having one you have to stop it ASAP. It's an extremely painful way to die.
@@damianayre2130 Anna beat me to it, but bloodless medicine is being recognised by many as the gold standard of transfusion therapy. I hope your area becomes educated about it, since there is zero risk of mismatch and little possibility of reaction or complications. Recovery time is significantly shortened also.
You guys ... It's almost impossible. Also known as Bombay Blood Group or hh blood type (lowercase hh) . There are less than 100 in the world and they would have notified you to never get any regular blood transfusion, you would be part of those numbers recorded and would also be from highly inbred genetics. Rh negative is not at all the same as rh NULL. Please look up Bombay Blood Group for more information.
That would be literally stupid. The president is one person - you can screen the whole of the federal agencies and screen for the closest matches. Then you could always have two of them "on call" near by. Not beeing in the same vehicle could even be a benefit. I think a lot of federal agents would be happy to work for the president directly - and if not being on the clock will not being allowed to work (except to relax and stay hydrated) also sounds like a good deal every so often.

To those who've commented that my blood donor driving across Texas in 1963 was ridiculous, since AB- can receive A-, B- or 0-, my mom said that the doctors insisted on it because I have some sort of weird antigen or factor, and that as I'd nearly died several times during those 6 weeks, "close enough" wasn't something they were willing to risk.

Turns out as I was Canadian I hadn't had some typical Australian disease that created a dangerous condition for babies receiving blood. Since I wasn't Australian they wanted my blood for a baby that was in need of an operation. So as soon as I donated, the blood was off to the hospital. It was the first time in my donating history that I felt a real connection to a donor, and it drove home how important blood donation was.

I'm A-, and as such my red cells are high demand. So high, they always do what is called a double red donation. They hook you up to a machine just like what is used for dialysis and just keep the red cells, returning everything else, plus adding saline to make up for volume lost. To do a double red, your hemoglobin count needs to be over 14.8, preferably closer to 16. You can only donate every 4 months and every 4 donations you need to skip the next 2 before being able to donate again. Even with the high hemoglobin count, it takes a lot out of you and can take 2 to 3 weeks before you feel back to normal. It's recommended to binge on high iron foods for up to a week before and at least 5 days after donating a double.
What an amazing thing you are doing. It sounds like a big hassle but that blood saves many lives. It’s like being in the military. Thank you for your service.❤❤❤❤❤

@FrancesLocke
As far as a diet, chili with meat and beans, spinach, liver, and cashews are all high iron sources.
Women have to be closer to 15.3 hemoglobin and have minimum height and weight requirements in order to do double red cell donations. Check with your local blood center or blood bank. Even if you can only donate whole blood, they will gladly take you. As always, partake in the offered drinks and snacks afterwards. They don't want you getting dizzy or even passing out before you leave.

I've always wanted to donate blood but I'm scared of the pain but now that u say it like that. I really juz wanna go and do it
@@wengli3783 thank you for wanting to be brave, I know that needles are a very big and ligit fear for a lot of people and it takes a lot of courage to something that you are afraid of doing. 💕
I know it would mean a lot to at least 3 people (every time you donate blood it is split into three bags for donation so every time you donate you have the potential to save 3 lives), and along with those 3 people who you will have helped save, every person who loves them will be immensely grateful too.
Wishing you all the best and thank you so much for even just taking the time to rethink if this is something you think you can do. Even if this time around you don’t make it in the door, next time you rethink it you might, and the time after that who know maybe you become a lifetime regular donor ❤️
I am related to someone who is RH-Negative and they absolutely refuse to donate blood because it's 'their blood'. It got to the point that they were paranoid about going to the doctor and having their blood 'stolen'.
And yet, that same person needed a surgery once, but there was no blood for a transfusion and it was a mess.
So glad I've got one of the most common blood types.
Well that's good they didn't donate because it's the bloodline of satan and fallen Angel's or nephilim
@@pintdinkler7521that's probably the reason they claim not to know where this bloodline comes from . They have been hiding the fallen angels and nephillians from us for years as well . Also think of the book of Enoch that was removed for this very reason as well. They know what their doing . Yes I also believe this is a reptilian blood , more than likely these giants are still breeding w humans . A huge percentage of celebrities and the elites also have this bloodline as well

When my dad worked in Cornwall, England for a while, like 45 years ago, he is a pediatrician, there was a baby who needed blood and was RH Null blood type. They had to get someone all the way from Italy to donate blood. Just thought I would share!
So, that child was 1 out of 43.

Lol
Well.. donated blood has a shelf life for 2months
at leats that the blood freezes 0- C° ?
not realy , because there are people that can't even donate it to themselves
Wait how could that work?-
Years ago I worked as a Cardiovascular Unit nurse. We admit patients scheduled for bypass. We have a checklist we follow to make sure the surgery goes smoothly the next day (usually, these patients come in a day prior to the procedure). Loads of stuff we have to do; making sure they have all the blood works done, their medications and history properly listed, ECG and other test results ready at hand (especially the copy of their recent angiogram!), inform all the doctors that are going to be involved that the patient has arrived so they can all do their rounds before the actual procedure (mind you, there are LOADS. They will have a complete line-up including the cardiothoracic surgeon, the cardiologist, the cardiologist who will perform the intra-op transoesophageal echocardiogram (TEE), a pulmonologist, a nephrologist… you name it. Not to mention, they will immediately go to CCU post-op so they will be under the care of an intensivist too). Besides these, we have to complete the necessary paperwork and phone calls. The most important is making sure that we inform the lab and ask them to prepare 4 units each of PRBC, FFP, and platelets. CABG is a big surgery, so those units are just the required BARE minimum.
I admitted a patient for said CABG procedure and I was working nights. Working a night shift with a pre-op CABG patient is pretty hectic because you’re tasked to make sure that everything is complete. One of those things is making certain the 4 units of each blood product required are complete and reserved for the patient that night.
This patient of mine came in and my whole night had been non-stop phone calls and updates from the lab. He’s O- and his blood type was so rare that the lab couldn’t complete his blood units on time. The procedure was then cancelled because we couldn’t find the rest in time for the CABG. I remember getting so tensed throughout the shift just wishing they’d find him more blood.
But life works in mysterious ways. It was his saving grace. The holding of the procedure saved his life. Turns out, the morning he was supposed to have the bypass, he suffered a stroke. I distinctly remember passing by his room and apologising we couldn’t get his blood on time, and him still being light-hearted about it. I also distinctly remember, as I was on my way out of the hospital, I heard the hospital speaker system saying “Brain Attack Team to CVU, now”. Turns out, he was that patient.
Just thinking about it gave me goosebumps. Imagine if we got the blood and he underwent the procedure that day, he would have suffered a stroke on the table and most likely he wouldn’t have survived.
After the stroke, he stayed in the hospital for more rehab until it was safe for him to get the bypass. I am pleased to say he survived. ❤
That is really incredible.
@@jstu8 I know. I hope wherever he is now he’s looking after his health. 😊

There was a man in Australia who gave the golden blood to new borns he had an exemption from going to war, by the time he was in his 80s the Dr told him he couldn’t anymore because of his age he was so sad about that. You can actually read about him .
Watched a movie that only Angels/pharaoh s n Queens of Egypt used to have golden blood..
Or un-Human like species..
That's a conspiracy theory. They believe that the RH Null blood type is from alien DNA and came from ancient aliens from other planets across the universe.

It's not that he had golden blood, he was called "The man with the golden arm" - James Harrison
He had an incredibly strong anti-D, which could be given to pregnant D negative mothers to prevent them from creating their own anti-D and attacking their unborn.
@Angelika Arkey 🥴what u implying..
I’m O-Positive. I started donating blood the day I turned 16. With various pauses I have donated over my entire life. I’m 60 now. I have given both whole blood and platelets since the age of 20. My beef with giving platelets is that if you give two units of platelets at a time, it only counts as one donation. 3-4 hours on the machine for 1 donation. It should count as two. Most of my platelet donations have been doubles where I’ve matched a patient needing platelets. It gets a tad bit irritating when you spend so much time and don’t get the proper credit for your time. They should at least credit you properly two for two.
Blood Donating is a great Scam and the Perfect Guilt Trip!
Agreed. I donated my blood for a friend in 1991. I wasn’t a match for her, but I stalked by the hospital ( Hoag Newport Beach Ca.) for @ least 25 years, for WEEKLY donations because apparently I have “Golden Blood “. Nope 👎, hospital’s charge astronomical amounts of money for a transfusion IF you have healthcare insurance. SO nope 👎 again for MY FREE weekly donations.
@@barbaraharp6836 I had a surgery in the 70's in Hoag, my aunt donated on my behalf. When I found out the Red Cross charges for my donations, I quit donating blood. I do understand there is equipment, personel and storage costs. I just don't believe blood banks are not making a profit, however, I have no proof.

I'm Rh negative and had to get the rogam shot while pregnant. Could the Rh factor's effect on pregnancy possibly be covered in a video please?
Also, I find it interesting that few people actually know what their blood type is when it could be important. I think people need to be aware of why it's important to know what blood type they have, mostly to avoid any complications
the rogam shot is needed if your child is rh positive otherwise youd probably die giving birth and so would the baby.
I work as a biomedical scientist dealing with blood transfusion and blood products it baffles me how many expecting mothers who are Rh- arent told or explained why the anti-D shots (Rogam) are necessary when their baby's predicted Rh is Rh+
There needs to be more education about this since it affects so many people
Same here RH Negative and had to get the rogam shot also and also my dauther after her giving birth
@@AceVillamin you’re right. All I was told was that I needed the shot so my blood wouldn’t attack the developing baby.

Having work for the Red Cross in the blood distribution, I would love to see a further video on the difference between packed cells, serum, and derivatives such as platelets. I think people would be interested in that. And that you can donates only red cells are only platelets without losing your own blood volume. And platelets are definitely needed as they have a pretty short lifespan outside the body. Platelets are basically your clotting factors in your blood that keep you from bleeding out if you get cut. So you can see how important they are in surgeries.

There should be a compensation system for those with golden blood given the pressure to donate that they constantly face
Right! Offer them $1,000 per donation and I guarantee they gonna do it XD
@@rachel8006 I mean... yeah...
But I think he meant in other ways too... like in terms of laws and policies.... for example, that guy who had this blood type had to get off of work to save that baby's life yet he would have to face wtv consequences for it...
There could be laws that support individuals with this blood type...
And also, even if they paid sm for donating, they can't donate above a certain limit cuz their RBCs deteriorate faster so 1- the stored blood might become unusable sooner (ig) 2- they could become anemic much quicker than an average individual who would have donated too much blood (ig)
I'm guessing the last 2 points using logic... I'm not a doctor or something so I could be partly or completely wrong.
lisi koshy I think the most logical would be that when it is needed, they are then compensated for travel, time off work and their time. They wouldn’t have the burden of losing blood and becoming anemic unless necessary, and it would always be fresh blood.
@@rachel8006 you think that covers travel and time? Lol
@@JasminMiettunen hmm... makes sense...
For the 40 odd people in the world with Rh-null blood who are "on-call" for their whole lives, their acts of kindness should not be at their own expense! If some countries' laws won't allow for their expenses to be reimbursed, then surely the patient's family should be paying for them. The money is nothing compared to the life the donor is saving!
Well said, stay blessed
eep hopefully with reasonable prices
I can understand not allowing a price on their blood but not reimbursing for lost work, transportation, etc??? I would like to know exactly who made such a law and why....
I have this blood type no joke. Is also called the fake O- because I can pass as an O- in a basic exam and in other I can apparently have all blood types. Even the doctors advised my parents to only say O-
My mom is A+
My dad is O+
My sister is A+
So I should be O+
But they were like wait you can’t be O- and years later because of a DNA exam they found out my blood type. I have so many problems related with my immune system like fevers, inflammations, rashes etc
Many people have this blood type in reality but because not everybody needs a blood transfusion you never found out or the ones that donate as O- can pass unsuspected
The lab that made my exam for my drivers license found out that my blood type was special but I said oh that’s because I received a transfusion
If you’re wondering how I do if I need blood
Each year we freeze my own blood but only 20% of that can be use
So yeah if not that super extremely rare like there’s more than 43 people
One curios thing is that I suffered meningitis 6 days after I was born and later we found out it wasn’t meningitis it was my mom blood and mine fighting
The Rh Null is rare because not many people survive with it so the genes don’t pass as easy as other types
A lot of pregnancies with a Rh Null fetus end up in miscarriage because the mothers immune system rejects the baby (can also happen with the most common blood types)
The true part is yeah no one can know because it’s very valuable
I’m here very anonymously
A lot of people that have this blood type prefer to stay quiet and donate as O-
But Some donate a Rh Null when needed I have met other Rh Nulls and other rare blood donors
Please donate
Give blood is giving life
.
I remember seeing a story of a guy who was 80 at the time who had rh null blood. He donated blood as often as he could safely it was every few weeks I think. He saved so many lives
You are probably thinking of James Harrison. A lot of media picked up his story when he retired from donating plasma for a specialist Australian Lifeblood programme. He did not have Rhnull blood but was RhD negative with a high titre of antibodies to D. His plasma was pooled with similar others to make anti-D (RhoGAM in US). Plasma can be donated by apheresis every two weeks, as the plasma is removed and the red cells returned so no loss of iron. The donation interval for whole blood donations is a lot longer bcause the lost iron has to be recouped. People who are Rh negtive are absent their D antigen (and a few others) but have other Rh antigens whereas people who are Rhnull are absent all of Rh antigens, currently known 56. To be Rhnull is very rare but amongst whites being Rh negative is common, an average frequency in that population of 17%.
Survivor today because of a donor, thank you all donors.
You’re welcome

And to think, my A- is called rare. I couldnt imagine RH Null. Never heard of it til now, very interesting video and work.
mikepotts52, same here. I had no idea that there was a “null”.

@@Sunstreaky00 Yeah, Id been told it was, and looking into it A- can only recieve A- and O- it looks like. There was a website I stumbled on called the "blood connection .org" that claims 6% of the population has A- blood type.

i am also A-!
I asked my doctor what blood type I had. She said she wasn’t allowed to tell me. Like wtf, it’s my blood
Huh?
lol ... although it isn't something we need to know. No matter what you say they are going to cross match it with the unit of blood anyway.

Hello! I’m a clinical laboratory science student, and I just want to say I absolutely love this video. My favorite clinical rotation so far was the blood bank, so I really enjoyed listening to this video! You’ve made basic immunohematology more accessible to the lay population! I just wanted to mention a few clarifications and additions:
At 2:23 A antibodies or anti-B antibodies are mentioned, along with B antibodies/anti-A antibodies. While this is correct, in the blood bank we prefer to use the terms anti-A antibodies and Anti-B antibodies, because that terminology indicates the antigen to which the antibody attaches. Often times, we leave out the term antibody, and we just say “anti-A,” for example, in the lab.
At 4:55 a table of donor/patient compatibility comes up. This is only in the context of donating red blood cells, as donating plasma would have a different compatibility chart.
At 5:47 the fact that most antigen-antibody reactions don’t occur often is mentioned. The video says that this is because a lot of the antigens are shared amongst the human population. While there are quite a few high incidence antigens, this isn’t the only reason we don’t really need to worry too much about our other antigens. At the beginning, the video mentions how group A people have anti-B antibodies and group B people have anti A antibodies. These antibodies naturally form in the body a few months after birth, whether or not the baby ever had an intrauterine or exchange transfusion. However, for other blood group systems, you can only develop the antibodies after you’ve been exposed to the antigen (i.e. if you’ve had a transfusion with blood containing a foreign antigen). So you can only develop anti-D antibodies if you’re Rh D negative and had a transfusion with D positive blood. You can also develop antibodies through pregnancy, but if I explain that, this would become way too long haha. And even if you are exposed, if it’s the first time, it’ll take a while for clinically significant antibodies to form. Therefore, upon first exposure, it’s unlikely that you’ll get a transfusion reaction as long as your ABO is compatible. However, subsequent exposures require more careful testing, since the following exposures will have quick antibody responses within a few days. Nonetheless, this is why it’s sometimes difficult to procure blood for people with diseases like sickle cell anemia, since they require transfusions often. At my hospital, the protocol we have for patients with sickle cell is to go ahead and provide blood that is at least antigen matched for ABO and the major Rh antigens (not just RhD).
At 7:37 it’s stated that fresh blood has a shelf life of 4 weeks. While that is true, it depends on the anticoagulant used. Citrate phosphate dextrose (CPD) only preserves it for 21 days, but CPD with adenine preserves it for 35. There are other coagulants called additive solutions that can extend the shelf life to 42 days. While I don’t know what the other foreign hospitals use, at my hospital we usually either get blood that has CPD with adenine or an additive solution. Granted, if you freeze the blood at temperatures less than -65 degrees Celsius, it can be kept for 10 years, and they can be transported in a frozen state, though I imagine that it’s more costly to do so. Granted, freezing can damage the red blood cells (RBCs) a little bit, and with the increased osmotic fragility of Rh null RBCs, I’m not quite sure if those preservation time limits apply to that specific group.
At 8:59 the osmotic fragility of Rh null RBCs is mentioned, and that leads to an inability to donate as often. This is true, and the symptoms the video mentions are also common symptoms of anemia. However, I believe in cases of Rh null, their anemia is compensated, meaning that they make up for their fragile RBCs by producing them more frequently than the rest of the population. This usually makes the anemia asymptomatic. Now I want to mention that I’m not completely sure about that one though, so don’t quote me on that.
At 11:02 whole blood donation is mentioned. I just want to add that what they were able to do with all that blood in a short time is amazing, since donating whole blood is different from donating RBCs. When donating whole blood, you can’t just be ABO compatible. You have to be ABO IDENTICAL, because the whole blood also contains plasma antibodies. The fact that they were still able to save as many lives as they did with whole blood is amazing.
Finally, I just want to end this with a plea for people to donate. I remember reading somewhere that around 35% of the U.S. population is eligible for donation, but only 5% of those eligible actually donate. So if you can, please donate! As long as there is illness and injury, there will always be a need for blood, and having a reliable stock of blood is always comforting to those of us who work in a blood bank, so I implore you all to donate the next time you see a local blood drive! And for those who already donate, it’s because of donors like you that we can provide the blood necessary to help our patients. So thank you for your contribution, and I hope you will continue to donate in the future! For those who actually read all the way to the end, thank you, and I hope you’ll find it in you to donate as well!
@@JamesLucas21 Then don't. No need to hate. And if ever a time will come that you might need blood for yourself, never plea for it from others all same though. Lol
@@JamesLucas21 if the person's annoying.. why read the whole thing then comment on it? One day when you need blood then you'll know.

I was also AB+ and needed platelets about every week and blood every other week. Tried the immune-suppressant therapy first. Turns out, I had a secondary illness called PNH, which was why the immune-suppressant therapy didn't work, and it was attempted twice. Got my marrow from a stranger, though, because no-one in my family was a match.

I knew about the RH factor only because when a woman is RH negative, she has to get shots or else her body will treat a baby like a virus and attack it. Never the first baby(not sure why) but I've had to get quite a few shots to prevent it

Antibodies can destroy your baby red cells by activating different mechanisms of your immune system. And yes, an inyection can prevent that.

I'm o- blood my mom could only receive blood from me when she needed a transfusion I had to leave work to give her blood
That is why I donated so often when I was younger. I have that rare blood type.

Isn't o- and universal donar?
@@bunnlii "Donor". Yes. O- is universal donor; they can also only receive that same type in return. To have that blood type is also rather risky in a bad situation.
I dont know anyone else in my family who is O- and for that i donated but had to stop due to pregnancy. Always made me happy recieving calls saying how many lives i saved with each donation.
im a blood banker, and have dealt with patients with extremly difficult transfusion needs. its amazing see how things get called out and units can be found and brought in from far away. you'll also know that if a patient has no anti D, and is rh negative. we can give rh positive blood to them in trauma situations where massive ammounts of blood are needed. If blood type is unknown, men tend to be given ) O positive blood, and women over 55 as well. Women of child bearing ages are given O negative blood in any emergency.
Many years ago (about 50 years ago) I was vaccinated for hep A (my step-sister caught it so we all got vaxxed as she was going to recoup with us). If I donated blood would they discard it as it's my understanding they test for hepatitis? I assume all these years later
is hep A antibodies are still in my blood.
Rh B negative here . Lost first child didn’t know husband was A positive. My body attacked the fetus and miscarriage. I bled for over 3 months then they finally did a D&C. And discussed with me that they gave me a Rio- gram injection because I am Rh negative B it will enable me to have a child with my husbands blood type the next time
@@guyindecatur Antibodies are not a problem. In my country it is quite common to vaccinate against hep A (combined with hep B). It does not cause a problem. Your antibodies (in your blood) will react to hepatitis if you were to get the disease. It does not mean you already have hepatitis. They do test for hepatitis, but antibodies will not make that test positive.
Blood is tested for many diseases to make sure the sick person receiving it, will not become any sicker

I am O Rh- and lack a significant number of the 61 common antigens. I definitely don't have "golden blood", but it is challenging to have such a low RBC antigen level. This is connected to why I have been anemic for 34 years and must constantly get tested for various blood issues. The tests always indicate that my RBCs are undersized and being destroyed by my body faster than they can be replaced. I have to get IV iron infusions regularly in order to survive.

I'm proud of being a donor. I started donating last year, at 20 years old, and when I did it was shortly after my grandma passed away. My mom came with me because after my grandma's death, she realized how many transfusions her own mom had needed to stay alive a few years, and regretted that she had never donated blood. She's now a donor but will only be able to donate for 3 years (roughly 6 donations) because of age restrictions. Fun fact was, she didn't know her own blood type, and when they tested her we found out she's O negative (universal donor) like my grandma was. She's ashamed she didn't donate her whole life, but grandma lived extra years only because other O negative people donated blood.
It's really important to donate, I'm glad I'm starting now and I hope to continue until possible.

I hated my early life because of having this blood type. Never allowed to do anything that had any risk of injury. Had an aunt who would babysit me as often as possible so she could sell my blood without my parents knowledge. Any doctor visits usually had staff lie to my parents and take blood for bogus tests. I did at least luck out with having several mutations that let's me heal ridiculously fast and my blood cells are pretty robust and can donate frequently. To my parents dismay I love riding motorcycles and a friend I was riding with crashed. We were far away from any major hospital and he needed blood because he lost so much in the accident. This little emergency place had no means to get any so I broke my rules of not staying quiet about who I was (nulls are very known to the relevant people) and donated to help him. His was fairly rare itself and no one present could help. I am basically on call for my blood but I do answer that call whenever possible because so few can.

joe mamma and now you’ve found yourself here the question to ask yourself is do you know your own blood type? 😊
When I get older, I want to donate blood as much as I can. It kills me to hear how many people need blood transfusions and there isn't enough blood. My blood won't necessarily change that alone, but it's a start.
Good for you! Word of advice: eat a balanced diet, be careful of where you travel (they won't accept donations if you have travelled to certain places during certain times), and give yourself time to recover between donations. It takes time for your body to replace what you donate. :)
Also, drink lots of water the day before you go in, and a protein filled breakfast the day of. It will make your donation much easier, and less likely to feel lightheaded afterwards.
Wow, that’s... really encouraging. Since when does that happen on UA-cam???

Well what do you think?
I know there are some places in Europe where if you donate and it gets used you’ll get a generic text to say that your blood was just used to save a life. Wish we had that here

I think a lot of federal agents would be happy to work for the president directly - and if not being on the clock will not being allowed to work (except to relax and stay hydrated) also sounds like a good deal every so often.
Rubbish

In the UK you donate blood for free. It's voluntary. All you get is a cup of tea and a biscuit as your reward.
Same as USA.
