In blood transfusion, why is the antigen of the donor and the antibody of the recipient considered? |
why can't it be the other way round? So that the recipients erythrocytes will not be damaged and the body will not try to reject the donors blood. They do actually check the donors antibodies and recipients antibodies as well (at least in my case) When I had a blood transfusion my match was near perfect but they still gave me benadryl and watched me with extreme caution for any signs that the body was having an adverse reaction to the foreign blood flowing through my veins. they both have to be considered- if the antigens are not compatible with the host's immune system, the immune system will react to the blood, rejecting it which is really bad because the host is probably not in the best shape already anyway |
