Reference ranges
In most cases, O RhD negative blood (O-) can safely be given to anyone. It’s
often used in medical emergencies when the blood type isn’t immediately
known. It’s safe for most users because it doesn’t have any A, B or RhD
antigens on the surface of the cells, and is compatible with every other ABO
and RhD blood group.
Reference ranges
The normal values listed here - called a reference range - are just a guide.
These ranges vary from lab to lab, and your lab may have a different range
for what’s normal. Your lab report should contain the range your lab uses.
Also, your doctor will evaluate your results based on your health and other
factors. This means that a value that falls outside the normal values listed
here may still be normal for you or your lab.

• Alkaline phosphate - ALP,
