Detailed explanation-1: -An ABO incompatibility reaction can occur if you receive the wrong type of blood during a blood transfusion. It’s a rare but serious and potentially fatal response to incompatible blood by your immune system.
Detailed explanation-2: -The agglutinated cells may survive or may be prematurely removed from the circulation by the macrophages. Otherwise, the fate of the incompatible RBCs largely rests in the hands of macrophages in the liver or the spleen. They remove the antibody-coated cells from the circulation and phagocytose them.
Detailed explanation-3: -If a patient receives a blood type that is incompatible, antibodies that the patient already has in his or her blood will attack the donor red blood cells and destroy them.
Detailed explanation-4: -Agglutination occurs when antibodies on one RBC bind to antigen on other RBCs, forming globular to amorphous, grapelike aggregates of RBCs.
