O can only receive O.  Other types can receive their type plus O.  It gives us fewer opportunities to find a match.   But on the bright side, we can donate to another blood type!   Of course, this is where the ABO incompatible transplants come in, right Tamara? :thumbup;

Just saw this post ( It amazes me what you miss on this site )

Yep this is certainly wher ABO incompatible transplants come in .

Two Months Tomorrow ! Yippee  :bandance;  :2thumbsup;  :clap;

It differs state to state, center to center, region to region, and so forth.
