Hello, the doctor would like to answer the question: “What diseases can I have with AB+ blood group and foreign antibodies? ” as follows:
Thank your wife for volunteering to donate blood. After donating blood, your blood unit will be tested for blood group by the receiving facility, screened for blood-borne diseases and abnormal antibodies in accordance with the circular guiding blood transfusion activities.
ABO blood group has 04 groups: A, B, AB and O. Rh blood group has 02 groups: Rh (+) and Rh (-). According to the results of the announcement of the Red Cross, your blood type is AB+, which means AB and Rh (+) blood types. Blood group AB is the less common blood group (about 6.6%), Rh (+) blood group is common in Vietnam (about 99.96%). The foreign antibody here is the abnormal antibody. This antibody is likely to be present in people with a history of pregnancy, blood transfusion, and possibly autoantibodies.
