[|Human|] Hi,One of my relatives(Age -32) is on dialysis due to both kidney failure.Patient blood group is A+ what should be the donors blood group ?If in the family members no one has the same blood group then can we get from outsider and what are the constaints/policy in India?
[|AI|]  Hi, In blood donation, for specific blood group, specific blood group is used. In the present scenario, we require a+ve donor. After specific cross-matching, then donation is decided once it matches and there is no reaction during cross-matching. If you can't find it in hospital blood bank, you can get it from any blood bank outside. The outside blood bank is responsible for cross-matching. Blood, even if collected from family members is used only for replacement purpose, to avoid transfusion associated graft versus host disease. Any further queries, happy to help again.
