Golden blood is the nickname for the Rh-null blood type, which is the rarest blood type in the world. Here’s a breakdown of what it is and why it’s so special:

---

🩸 What Is Golden Blood?

Golden blood, or Rh-null, is a blood type lacking all 61 antigens in the Rh (Rhesus) blood group system. Most people are either Rh-positive or Rh-negative based on the presence or absence of the D antigen. But Rh-null individuals lack all Rh antigens, making their blood incredibly unique.

---

🧬 Why Is It So Rare?

Fewer than 50 people worldwide are known to have this blood type.

Only around 10 active donors are known globally.

It often runs in families due to rare genetic mutations.

---

💉 Why Is It Important?

Rh-null blood can be accepted by anyone with rare Rh-negative blood types, making it valuable for transfusions.

But Rh-null individuals can only receive Rh-null blood, making donation and supply extremely challenging.

---

🚨 Risks and Challenges:

If someone with Rh-null needs a transfusion, it's extremely hard to find a match.

Even a minor injury could become life-threatening due to lack of available compatible blood.

---

🧪 Scientific Significance:

Golden blood is studied for genetic research and to better understand how red blood cells work.

It's also useful in producing anti-Rh serums for medical use.
