Hello, THX to contact us. I understand your concern. If I am your doctor I advise you that taking an autologous (Blood of self) blood for transfusion is better as there is low chance of heterogeneous antibodies. Next you can take the homologous 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 Chat Doctor. Chat Doctor. Infectious Disease.
