Detailed explanation-1: -AB positive blood type is known as the “universal recipient” because AB positive patients can receive red blood cells from all blood types.
Detailed explanation-2: -Individuals with the AB blood group are known as universal recipients because they can receive blood from all blood kinds without experiencing any hemolytic reactions.
Detailed explanation-3: -People with type AB+ blood are universal recipients because they have no antibodies to A, B or Rh in their blood and can receive red blood cells from a donor of any blood type. Plasma transfusions are matched to avoid A and B antibodies in the transfused plasma that will attack the recipient’s red blood cells.
Detailed explanation-4: -AB+ is the universal acceptor as the blood group contains A, B and Rh antigens; contains no antibodies in its serum.
Detailed explanation-5: -Type O-negative blood does not have any antigens. It is called the “universal donor” type because it is compatible with any blood type. Type AB-positive blood is called the “universal recipient” type because a person who has it can receive blood of any type.
