Had blood test today a type and screen antibody test said negative what does this mean? having surgery friday does this mean i have cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: An individual's blood type depends on which genes were passed on by their mother or father. The best-known way of grouping of blood types is the ABO system, although there are other groups.Within the ABO group, four major categories are divided into eight common blood types: A, B, O, and AB.If the red blood cells contain the RhD antigen, they are RhD positive. If they do not, they are RhD negative
