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.

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.

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.

[@jsh6952]

@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.

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. ❤

[@GerryMatthews-jk5pd]

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%.

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 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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

[@melodudemusic5090]

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!

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.

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.
