Question:
I recently went to donate blood. The nurse took a small amount of blood from my finger. Then she did some coagulation tests and determined my blood group. After that she did another coagulation test; the results of this test were positive and there was coagulation. She told me that I can't donate blood because I carry a rare antigen which doesn't allow people to donate. I forgot the name of this antigen.
Do you know any antigen that doesn't allow its carrier to donate blood?
Answers:
Not a clue. Usually they look for the A/B/O antigen and the Rh antigen, but all types can donate. And if you were carrying something like, say, hepatitis, they would be negligent not to provide you with full consultation.
