The golden blood is extremely valuable and only one in six million people in the world have it.


Golden blood was named so because of its extraordinary properties, and it’s not just because it’s a rare blood type.

Although, of course, the fact that only a select few have it is impressive. It is distinguished by the fact that it does not contain antigens, meaning that it is neither negative nor positive.

Such blood can be transfused to anyone, which is why it is extremely valuable.

According to scientists, one in six million people in the world may have golden blood. So far, this rare blood type has been confirmed in only 43 people. And of course, it is no different in color from the others, it is also red. However, it does not contain any of the 61 Rh antigens. Its factor is called Rh zero.

People with this blood type are ideal donors. However, there is another side to the coin. Due to its rarity and uniqueness, people with this blood type are the most difficult recipients. It is very difficult to find blood that matches them.

It is worth recalling that there are four basic blood groups: A, B, AB, and 0. In addition, each of them has a positive Rh+ or negative Rh- coefficient.

We inherit our blood type and Rh factor from our parents. Importantly, sometimes a child may have a completely different blood type and Rh than their parents.
