Patients who require frequent blood transfusions as part of their treatment, like those with sickle cell disease or thalassemia, can need close blood type matches to prevent these patients from developing complications from their transfusion therapy.</p> <p>The best blood type match for patients with rare blood types often comes from donors of the same race or similar ethnicity.</p> </div></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="section-control parbase"> <div class="section-control-container column-container top-padding-ten medium jump-link-target gutter-twenty " style="background-color: #f0f0f0" data-jump-link-analytics="jump link not set" data-region-type="include" data-subsource-type="include"> <div class="box-shadow-container"> <div class="container-fluid main-content"> <div class="row justify-content-center"> <div class="col-md-10 offset-md-1"> <div class="row"> <div class="par-100 col-12 section-par one-col-100 par-1"> <div class="section_header"> <div class="section-header-container" data-title-heading="h2"> <div class="section-header-description"> <h2 class="section-header-title center large" data-aa-temporary-homepage-section-title="temp home page section title not set">Rare Blood Types</h2> </div> </div></div> <div class="text parbase"> <div class="rich-text-editor-content" style="padding-top:0px; padding-bottom:0px"> <p>Red blood cells carry markers called antigens on their surface that determine one鈥檚 blood type. There are more than 600 known antigens besides A and B. Certain blood types are unique to specific racial and ethnic groups. Therefore, it is essential that donor diversity match patient diversity. For example, U-negative and Duffy-negative blood types are unique to the African American community. People with sickle cell disease and these blood types rely on <a href="https://www.redcrossblood.org/donate-blood/blood-types/diversity/african-american-blood-donors.html">blood donors who are Black</a>聽when they need a transfusion.</p> <p>When blood is phenotypically matched (i.e., close blood type match), patients are at a lower risk of developing complications from transfusion therapy.
