Hello,
Thnx to contact us. I understand your concern.
If I am your doctor I advice you that taking a autologus (Blood of self) blood for transfusion is better as there is low chance of heterogenous antibodies. Next you can take the homologus blood, which can be decided by the status of the patient and can be decided by the treating doctor.
I will be happy to answer more of your concerns, kindly know me,
Wish you a very good health at health care magic.
