New: Platelets from different blood type
Hello,
My father has been recently diagnosed with MDS. His platelets were at 13 and when he went in for a platelet transfusion they did not have his blood type (O neg). Instead they had to give him O positive.
I can't find any information on whether this is dangerous or not; has this happened to anyone else?
I am in information overload and each new thing is hard to digest.
Anybody's assistance is appreciated.
Jennifer
