What is Panda Blood?

When it comes to human blood types, many friends know type A, type B, type O and type AB, but in fact there is a very rare blood type, which is panda blood. The reason why it is called panda blood is because it is very rare, so many friends don’t know what panda blood is. In fact, for people with panda blood, it is quite difficult to get a blood transfusion when they encounter an accident.

Nowadays, although my country has a large population, there are still very few people with panda blood type. This makes it very difficult for many panda blood patients to treat diseases. In order to better understand what panda blood is, here we provide you with a detailed analysis and introduction.

Rh-negative blood is relatively rare, and AB type Rh-negative blood is even rarer. Therefore, it is also called panda blood, which is a very rare type of blood. Because it is extremely rare, it is called "panda blood". Rh negative blood is the common name for Rh negative blood type. Human red blood cell types are composed of more than twenty blood type systems. ABO and Rh blood types are the two blood type systems that are most closely related to human blood transfusion. When a person's red blood cells contain a D blood type substance (antigen), it is called Rh positive, indicated by Rh(+); when the D antigen is absent, it is called Rh negative, indicated by Rh(-). The distribution of Rh(-) varies greatly among different races, with a higher proportion among Caucasians, approximately 15 percent.

In China, more than 99% of people with Rh blood type are Rh positive, so hemolytic reactions due to Rh blood type incompatibility during blood transfusion are rare. But less common does not mean non-existent. If a recipient with Rh-negative blood receives Rh-positive blood, an immune hemolytic reaction will occur. The correct approach should be that the blood type of the blood recipient and the blood donor should be the same, that is, both should have Rh negative blood type.

Rh negative blood type is different from A, B, O, and AB blood types. The latter blood types are more evenly distributed among the population, and blood sources of several blood types are easy to find. Rh negative blood type is a rare blood type, accounting for less than 1% of Rh blood type people. It is understood that among the 3 million people who donated blood in a certain city, only 3,300 had Rh negative blood type. The probability of Rh negative in clinical surgical patients is 5 to 7/1000. In contrast, Rh-negative blood is extremely precious.

This is all I have to say about what panda blood is. If you have panda blood, you must pay attention to the safety of blood transfusion. You must choose blood that truly matches your blood type for transfusion, and you must tell the doctor your blood type to avoid accidents that may threaten your life.
