===Plasma compatibility===
[[File:Plasma donation compatibility path.svg|right|190px|thumb|'''Plasma compatibility chart'''<br />In addition to donating to the same blood group; plasma from type AB can be given to A, B and O; plasma from types A, B and AB can be given to O.]]
[[Blood plasma]] compatibility is the inverse of red blood cell compatibility.<ref>{{cite web|title=Blood Component ABO Compatibility Chart Red Blood Cells and Plasma|url=https://www.pathology.med.umich.edu/blood-bank/blood-component-and-compatibility|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190616012246/https://www.pathology.med.umich.edu/blood-bank/blood-component-and-compatibility|archive-date=16 June 2019|website=Blood Bank Labsite|publisher=University of Michigan|access-date=16 December 2014}}</ref> Type AB plasma carries neither anti-A nor anti-B antibodies and can be transfused to individuals of any blood group; but type AB patients can only receive type AB plasma. Type O carries both antibodies, so individuals of blood group O can receive plasma from any blood group, but type O plasma can be used only by type O recipients.
<!--Please don't switch donor and recipient here without being absolutely sure they're wrong. Check the cited source; any change must match it. It seems a lot of people switch this without actually understanding it, because it's often edited from the correct (AB can donate plasma to all blood groups) to the wrong.-->
