Franco is rushed to the hospital after losing blood from a work relates accident. Because he was wearing a medical alert bracelet, the hospital staff knows he has A+ blood.
Does he have Rh antibody? Can he receive Rh – blood? Rh positive?
No, Rh antibody will not be seen.Rh antibodies are not seen in blood under normal conditions.They only form in Rh- individuals(who do not have Rh antigens) who are exposed to Rh+ blood.
He can receive Rh -ve blood
Explanation:
Rh-ve means no Rh antigens; Rh +ve means having Rh antigens
If an Rh- receives an Rh+ blood, the recipient produces Rh antibodies. Since Rh antibodies does not form instantaneously, there is little danger in the first mismatched transfusion. However, because the recipient will now start producing Rh antibody, a subsequent Rh+ transfusion could agglutinate the donor’s RBCs.
