Some people have blood that is almost impossible to match for a transfusion
An extraordinarily rare blood type called Rh-null, sometimes nicknamed “golden blood,” lacks all Rh antigens on red blood cells. It has been identified in only a very small number of people worldwide.
Surprising fact: Rh-null blood can be extremely valuable for certain rare transfusion needs, but people with Rh-null blood themselves may have extraordinary difficulty finding compatible donated blood.
These three conditions illustrate how blood disorders can affect far more than bleeding or anemia, influencing oxygen delivery, temperature sensitivity, and even the ability to receive lifesaving transfusions.
