What is it like to have a rare blood type?

People with this blood type should be very happy, I want to say that when someone asks for blood, you feel happy that you have such blood, and you have a sense of accomplishment, but once you ask for blood, it is very sad, so if I have it, I will feel very sad.

Because I didn't know about rare blood types before. After listening to the experts at the blood center say that it will not affect my life, I felt a little surprised and felt that I was "different". But then I was worried that when I needed blood, I might not be able to find it, and I was afraid that it would be very troublesome. ‍‍

It's like the "chosen one", different. They are "unique" when it comes to donating blood to save lives. ‍

The trajectory of life changes due to rare blood types, intersects with each other, and can often be very scary. ‍‍

It's trouble, but it's also glory. The trouble is that it is full of difficulties when using blood; The glory is, "feeling that I am a little special." ‍

When the blood center's request for help** comes, they often have no hesitation to save other people's lives. ‍‍

In life, he began to pay more attention to eating healthily and attending regular medical check-ups, always being careful. ‍‍

Regular blood donations were stopped because no one could use them most of the time, and the blood donated was easy to go to waste.

In order to prevent accidents, he gave up his beloved basketball and became cautious in his life, eating healthy and attending regular medical check-ups. ‍‍

I've been donating blood since 12 years ago!

A rare blood type is a rare or rare blood type.

Rare blood groups are not only present in the ABO blood group system, but there are also some rarer blood types in the rare blood group system. With the in-depth study of blood group serology, scientists have established a rare blood group system based on the rare blood types discovered.

Such as RH, MNSSU, P, KELL, KIDD, Lutheraan, Deigo, Lewis, Duffy, and a range of other rare blood type systems.

China's Rare Blood Group Bank:

In China, the Ministry of Health has required some provincial blood centers to carry out rare blood type screening programs among blood donors starting in 2009, and at the same time to keep the information of all types of rare blood types and rare blood type donors.

Shanghai Blood Center took the lead in screening rh-negative blood that is very rare in the Chinese population in China. In the past decade, nearly 10,000 Rh-negative blood donors have saved countless patients' lives through their dedication.

Since 2003, with the help of the International Blood Transfusion Association, the Shanghai Blood Center has carried out the screening of a variety of rare blood types among its blood donors, hoping to obtain enough rare blood type donors through screening, and be able to keep in touch with them at all times, and provide urgently needed rescue blood as soon as possible. More and more rare blood types are being discovered, and China's own rare blood group bank is gradually growing.

Blood type refers to the type of antigen on the surface of blood components, including red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets. Blood group usually refers to the specific type of antigen on the cell membrane of red blood cells, which is most closely related to clinical conditions, and is called the RBO blood group system and the Rh blood group system. ABO blood groups are divided into 4 blood groups based on the presence of antigens A and B on the red blood cell membrane.

On red blood cells, only antigen A is type A, only antigen B is type B, if there is both a and B resistance principle, it is type AB, and without these two antigens it is type O. People with different blood types have different antibodies in their serum, but not to their own red blood cell antigens. For example, the serum of blood type A contains only anti-B antibodies.

In China, blood type A, blood type B and blood type O each account for about 30%, while blood type AB accounts for only 10%.

Red blood cells with the same antigen as rhesus macaques are called Rh-positive, while red blood cells that do not have this antibody are called Rh-negative. Among the Han Chinese and most ethnic minorities in China, about 99% of people are Rh-positive, while only about 1% are Rh-negative. The RH blood group system is the most complex red blood cell.

More than 40 RH antigens were found, of which the D antigen was the most antigenic. Thus, red blood cells containing the D antigen are often referred to as Rh-positive, while red blood cells lacking the D antigen are called Rh-negative.

Rare blood type is a rare blood type. This blood type is found not only in the ABO blood group system, but also in the rarer blood group system. Further study of blood group serology, scientists have established a rare blood group system separately.

There is also a rare blood system called the Bombay type, which does not have A, B, or H antigens on its red blood cells, but has A, B, and anti-H antibodies in serum. In the rare blood group system, blood groups other than the Rh blood group system make up a very small proportion of the total population. As a result, in actual clinical practice, they are far less important than the ABO and RH blood group systems, however, in particular, certain antibodies can have fatal consequences if used incorrectly.
