Blood transfusion question.

Why it is necessary to know blood types before a transfusion?

Answer #1

definitly!!! the transfution would be completly useless if you got the wrong blood type there are quite a few different types of blood..

Answer #2

Yeah, blood types cnt mix cuzz that could kill you which wouldn’t be very good.

Answer #3

Because blood types can’t mix.

If you try to give someone with B+ blood and A+ transfusion, it could have disastrous results.

Answer #4

If incompatible blood is given in a transfusion, the donor cells are treated as if they were foreign invaders, and the patient’s immune system attacks them accordingly. Not only is the blood transfusion rendered useless, but a potentially massive activation of the immune system and clotting system can cause shock, kidney failure, circulatory collapse, and death.

Answer #5

You body will reject the blood, and you wbc will attack the other cell, because the are different.
