Blood group is very important for our body. Usually people know about A, B, AB, and O blood groups, but there is also a blood group which is called Golden Blood Group. This blood group is so rare that only less than 50 cases of it have been detected in the whole world. It is also called Rh-null blood group. Let us know about it from Dr. Neeraj Teotia (Consultant-Pediatric Hemato-Oncology and Bone Marrow Transplant, Maringo Asia Hospital Gurugram).
Dr. Neeraj told that the golden blood group is of those people in whose blood the Rh factor is completely missing. Rh factor is a protein found on the red blood cells of the blood. This protein is present in most people, but those who do not have it at all in their blood, their blood group is called Rh-null. This condition is very rare.
Why is the golden blood type so special?
Can be used in blood transfusion: The blood of a person with golden blood group can be transfused to a person with any Rh factor.
Symbol of rarity: This blood group is so rare that people who get it are called one in a million.
How does it cause trouble?
Difficulty in blood donation: Due to being rare, it can be very difficult for people with this blood group to get blood when needed.
Problem in emergency: If a person with golden blood group needs blood during an accident or operation, then not getting the right blood group can be life threatening.
Lack of blood storage: It is not easy to preserve the golden blood group for a long time.
Golden blood group cannot be identified through a common blood group test. A special test is required for this. If a person has had a problem related to Rh factor in his family, then we can recommend such a test.
Tips for people with golden blood group-
Donate blood yourself: You can store your own blood for when you need it.
Join a blood donor network: Join groups for people with rare blood groups so you can help each other.
Pay attention to your health: Take special care of your health so that the need for blood is minimized.
Golden blood group is like a rare treasure, but its rarity can sometimes cause trouble. Through awareness and the right networking, the lives of people with this blood group can be made safe and easy. If your blood group is golden, it is a matter of pride, but it is also important to understand the risks associated with it and be prepared.
