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: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -AB+ is the universal acceptor as the blood group contains A, B and Rh antigens; contains no antibodies in its serum. Blood group O-, on the other hand, is the universal donor as it contains neither antigen A nor B, nor the Rh antigen, and as a result has A, B and Rh antibodies in its serum.

Detailed explanation-4: -AB positive (AB+) and O negative (O-) are considered universal blood types. People who are AB+ are universal recipients, meaning they can safely receive a blood transfusion using any other blood type. 1 O-individuals are universal donors, meaning their blood can be given to people of any blood type.

Detailed explanation-5: -People with AB+ (positive) are universal plasma donors. Only 3% of the population has type AB+ blood. Plasma from AB+ donors can be given to patients with any blood type, making it extremely important for those in need. AB+ donors are encouraged to donate Plasma or Platelets.
