Frequently Asked Questions

Rh blood types) Both my wife and I are Rh positive, but our son is Rh negative. Is this possible?

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The explanation is similar to that for a type O child of type A parents (see answer to previous question). In this case, the Rh type depends on a gene called 'D'. The absence of D results in a gene called 'd'. In your family, the genes of both you and your wife must be Dd. Your son must have inherited the d gene from each of you in order to be type Rh negative.

My wife and I are both Group A Rh Positive but our child is Group O RH Negative. Is this possible?

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes! Group A individuals are genetically either A/A or A/O, the "A" gene is dominant over the "O" gene, therefore both A/A and A/O individuals will type as Group A. If both parents are genetically A/O, they can each pass on an O gene to their child, who will be genetically O/O and have a group O blood type. In the same fashion, Rh (D) Positive individuals are genetically either D/D or D/d. If both parents are D/d and both pass on d, to their child, the child will genetically be d/d ie.

ABO blood types) Both my wife and I are type A, but our son is type O. Is this possible?

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. A person's blood type results from inheriting a gene for A, B or O from each parent. Two genes result, and this determines the blood type of the child. Type O is the name given when someone lacks an A or B gene. When O is present along with the gene for A or B, e.g. AO or BO, the A or B is the dominant gene and determines that person's type, as shown below: In your family, the genes of both you and your wife must be AO.

Can we give Rh positive components to Rh negative patients?

Pathology @ U of M
PLATELETS: ABO and Rh compatible platelets will be released for transfusion. If this is not feasible because of limited inventory and /or emergent need for the component, ABO and /or Rh incompatible platelets may be issued. It may be advisable to administer Rho (D) immune globulin to selected Rh-negative patients who receive platelets from Rh-positive donors, since sensitization to red cell antigens may occur from the few red cells present in platelets.

Is it possible for a cat to test negative when it really is positive?

Feline Leukemia FAQ - WikiFAQ - Answers to Frequently Asked ...
Unfortunately, yes. Although false negatives are not very common, they do occur, because no test is 100% accurate all of the time. Unlike FIV, FeLV tests test for antigens, not antibodies, so maternal antibodies are not an interfering problem and kittens can be tested at any age. To be absolutely sure a cat is not FeLV+ you should test it twice, a few weeks apart (the cat should remain isolated from other cats during this period; too, otherwise there is little point in doing a second test).

Cat Fanciers: Feline Leukemia Virus FAQ
Unfortunately, yes. Although false negatives are not very common, they do occur, especially if you are dealing with a young kitten. Sometimes the cat has been recently exposed to FeLV, so the antibodies have not yet had enough time to build up enough of a response to appear on the test.

How many blood types are there?

Information About Donating Blood
There are four major blood groups---O, A, B, and AB-each of which is divided into Rh positive or negative types. A patient's blood and the donor blood being transfused should be compatible, both in regard to major ABO group and Rh type. Of each 100 individuals, on the average, 45% will be group O (39% Rh positive, 6% Rh negative) ...40% will be group A (35% Rh positive, 5% Rh negative)...10% will be group B (8% Rh positive, 2% Rh negative)..

Can I be pregnant and not get a positive HPT (a False Negative result)?

Early Pregnancy Tests and Ovulation Predictor Kits: FAQ
False negative results are more common than false positives - and are primarily due to inaccuracies in timing of the test or carelessness in the test procedure itself. Please follow test instructions with circumspection and precision. A false negative result can also stem from using a diluted urine sample and/or from taking a test too early in pregnancy. First morning urine contains the most concentrated presence of hCG - which makes it the ideal sample for pregnancy testing.
