What does ‘blood type’ mean?

Blood is something all people have in common. Everyone has blood, which is made up of plasma, platelets, white blood cell and red blood cells. While all blood does the same thing, all blood is not the same. Blood is divided into types, and the types are defined by whether or not certain antigens, usually proteins, are present. An antigen is a substance that can make the body’s immune system react. There is a system called the ABO system for defining blood types.

What are the four major blood types?

The four major blood types are:

Type A: These people have the A antigen. Type B: These people have the B antigen. Type AB: These people have both A and B antigens. Type O: These people have neither A nor B antigens. In addition to this, blood types can be either negative or positive, depending on the absence or presence of the Rh factor’s D antigen, another protein. If you have the Rh factor’s D antigen as most people do, you are said to be Rh positive. If you don’t have it, you’re said to be Rh negative. Being Rh negative is less common than being Rh positive. When you consider the major A and B antigens and Rh factors together, there are eight common blood types.

How does blood type affect pregnancy?

The Rh factor (you are Rh positive or Rh negative) is inherited—the fetus can get its Rh factor from either the father or the mother. There can be problems if you are Rh negative and your fetus is Rh positive. If you are pregnant, your first visit to your obstetrician will involve a blood test to find out your blood type and possibly to screen for antibodies. (Antibodies are made by the immune system to fight off threats to the body.) If the mother’s body reacts to a positive Rh factor in the fetus’ blood, her body will create antibodies that can begin to attack the blood of the fetus. So, to prevent this damaging reaction, a woman who is Rh-negative will be given a medication called Rh immunoglobulin (RhIg) to block the antibodies from attacking the red blood cells of the fetus.

What are the rare blood types?

A general definition of a rare blood type is one that happens at a rate of 1 per 1,000 people or less. Another definition is that your blood type is rare if you don’t have an antigen that most people have or do have an antigen that most people don’t have. However, a blood type can be rare in one location or ethnic group but more frequent in a different group of people. Outside of the ABO system, there are hundreds of antigens (proteins) that may be attached to red blood cells. It is outside the scope of this article to list all known blood types. Some are so rare that only a small number of people have them.

How are blood types inherited?

You inherit your blood type the same way you inherit your eye color—from your biological parents. Both the ABO genes and the Rh factors come from your father and your mother. Due to the many possible combinations, you might not have the exact same blood type as your parents.

What blood types are compatible for donation purposes?
