What would happen if a transfusion of type A BLOOD IS GIVEN TO A PERSON WHO HAS TYPE O blood?

What would happen if a transfusion of type A BLOOD IS GIVEN TO A PERSON WHO HAS TYPE O blood?

The recipient will have a bad reaction.

People with Type O blood can only receive type O - in order to prevent a possibly fatal reaction. Type O blood can be given to anyone regardless of their actual type (Type O is called the Universal Donor blood). People with Type AB can receive any blood type (Universal Recipient), be it O, A, B or AB.

If your type is A: You can receive A or O
B: can receive B or O
AB: can receive A, B, AB or O
O: can receive only O

The person would need a blood transplant. The blood would be rejected by the body indicating to doctors that the wrong blood had been given. It is just as though a person had an organ transplant.

they will die, type o can give to everything (type A,B,AB) but type o can only get blood from type o

type O can be given to any other blood type so It will be fine if i remember correctly

They'll probably die.

Die. O's can give to everyone but have to receive from O's
