How rare is "golden blood"?

Only 3 people in the world have it

We all know that "rare is precious", and this saying applies to almost every field, and the medical field is no exception. In our daily lives, we have more or less heard of the existence of "panda blood", which is an extremely rare type of blood that the human body possesses.

But did you know that the most precious blood in the world is not "panda blood", but a blood type called "golden blood", only three people worldwide have this blood type, and many people also speculate because of its rarity The "golden blood" may enable people to evolve into higher forms and thus have superpowers, what is this all about?

What is "golden blood"?

Blood flows in everyone's body and is an important part of life. The medical profession for the blood is generally divided into A, B, AB, and O, which are several of the most common blood types in daily life, in addition, there is a rare blood type, that is what we call "panda blood" - RH negative blood.

This blood belongs to the complex system of RH blood groups, which classifies human blood types into 47 different antigenic categories, of which the rate of occurrence of "panda blood" is very low, about 99.5% of ordinary people will not become the "panda blood" of the Chosen One This shows how rare it is.

The "golden blood" that we are going to learn about today is even rarer than the panda blood, which is one of the RH blood types, but the blood of the "golden blood" owner In other words, it can be delivered to the body of any blood type owner without rejection.

This is of great value to the medical community. In addition, if this blood type is also classified as type O in the ABO blood group classification system, it means that their blood can be used by anyone in the world, which is truly "universal blood".

Therefore, the blood that is found to have no RH antigen in the RH blood group system and is also type O in the ABO blood group system is called "golden blood", and there are only three people in the world who have this blood.

The "golden blood" equal superpowers?

Many people may ask, such rare blood, does it mean that if you have it, you also have some kind of superpower?

Although gold blood is very rare in the world, this does not mean that it is a superpower. Blood is just a part of human tissue, it has the function of transporting nutrients and oxygen to various organs, maintaining the balance of substances in the body, and playing the role of defense against bacterial invasion.

Although each of us has a different blood type, they are responsible for the same function, if we say that having golden blood is to have superpowers, then each different blood type does not correspond to different superpowers.

But on the other hand, the golden blood owners do shoulder an unusual responsibility, and this is not how worthy of bragging, but rather they face some threats because of the special blood type.

Because gold blood can be called "universal blood", and can be transported to any person in the world, these people with gold blood, have a "universal blood bank" to help people in the world, but when they are in danger, Things may become more difficult.

Gold blood is rejectionist, and if its owners cannot find a suitable blood donor in case of danger, they are more likely to face excessive blood loss than normal people.

Since the number of gold blood holders is very small, it is difficult to find other owners at one time, and once other types of blood are input, the body will produce the corresponding antibodies of that blood, which will easily produce a hemolytic reaction during the second blood transfusion thus endangering life, so gold blood owners can only receive blood transfusion almost once in their lifetime.

Therefore, the pressure on the owner of golden blood is much greater than the owner of our normal blood, although this special blood is indeed a superpower for helping others, for themselves not only can not bring improvement to life but may therefore increase the probability of threatening life.

The new path of golden blood

Although "golden blood" can not be seen as a superpower, it does not mean that it does not have research value the emergence of "golden blood" may open up a new path for modern medicine.

In many accidents we know, patients die due to massive blood loss, on the one hand, because of the shortage of blood banks, and on the other hand, because there are different types of human blood, only those who have the same blood type can transfuse each other, but if all people have "golden blood", then for the development of medicine will If all people had "golden blood", it would be a great benefit to the development of medicine.

If we can study this blood type in-depth and unlock the biological secrets hidden in it, then in the future it may be possible to use it on a large scale in medical treatment to avoid some accidents caused by the blood type problem.

However, unfortunately, biologists have not yet made some research progress, but with the development of medicine and high technology, more and more new solutions will be applied to the study of blood, and I believe that in the future, the blood problem will no longer be a hidden problem for human beings.

To achieve real blood freedom, the development of technology is certainly an important driving force, but in fact, even without the existence of "golden blood", people can still rely on the transmission of love and actively donate blood to help those in need.

The owners of "golden blood" naturally have to take more responsibility, but they also have a "superpower". As long as they are willing, they can help anyone in the world who needs help. As long as we are all willing to give our love, we can also become that "superpower".
