Hi folks
I have been reading some stuff about Rh neg blood types being more disposed towards auto immune disorders, so may I ask who of you out there have Rhesus negative blood ? I suggested this question for a poll but have not heard anything back so thought I would post this as a question 
Many thanks and king regards to you all

I am an APS patient and am A+ blood type.
APS and Sjogren's and fibromyalgia and A+ blood type
Hi there
I did a poll on this on another forum. Interestingly enough it wasn't predominately negative, but there were a lot of As!! I am A negative. Perhaps it is the group not the negative factor??
Hi my blood type is AB neg , never really thought theremight be a connection, be interested to see if there is.
A positive here too. But rh negative.
A Rh Neg to receive, but A RH Pos to donate with Anti D factor
Primary APS
There seems to be a theme here, I wonder how many more are A?
Similar to Renae's reply I am unsure of what your type is, are you A rhesus positive blood type, but able to accept A rhesus negative because the donation would not sensitize your blood type,or create an adverse reaction? I think that's what you are saying. Many thanks for you input too
A positive here...
I am A negative
I have noticed so many A type blood among the posts. I am O negative, RH negative with APS. I wonder if A types in general are more prone?
What is APS
Antiphospholipidsyndrom or Sticky Blood or Hughes Syndrome. We have too thick blood that has to be thinned. Very few Doctors know about it.
If you think you have it you can put a question on here about your symptoms. This is a site for this illness only. Read about it!

Primary APS with B rh + blood (7.6% Canadian population has B+) . In Canada the most common blood types are O+ & A+.
HI folks
Well so far thats 14 rh negatives and 6 rh positives, lots of you are Group A! I understand that Rhesus negative blood types are an average of 7-8% of the world population ( correct me if I am wrong ) so that is remarkable that we so far have a 14:6 ratio which is 70% of those who have responded so far are Rh neg!!
Very interesting!!
More responses could make the numbers change so any more replies would be welcomed. Many thanks. The question next is - What is it about the rh negs that predispose toward auto immune disorders?
Kind regards
Carol
I should add, that I am O Rhesus D Neg!! That's now15:6 ratio - 71.43%, you can see I'm a numbers Girl !!! Love maths!! LOL
I am O negative -- interesting question . . .
Hi, I'm O neg with APS
Sorry, all, but can't answer this one as my young lady doesn't know what her blood group is!
Better we get that seen too! LOL.
Carol

Hi Paddy
Thank you for that, well so far on this Q thread we are up to 74% are Rhesus negative!!
I'm O RH neg and have Sjorgens, APS Hashimotos and looks like I'm a celiac too. Has anyone asked if any recent research has been done on APS and RH Neg
Sorry for the long absence in replying!! I don't know if there is any research on connections between Rh neg and APS, but I think there should be perhaps!
I have APS and A- blood with the rh factor. I have a hunch theyre related.
APS (probobly only APS) O Rh-
O Rh negative. (The - was invisible on the new s)
Thank you for keeping the thread alive! I do believe the Rhesus negative factor has a role to play in autoimmune disease. So many I know with Auto immune disease have Rhesus negative blood types.
I have an AI condition with thyroid and possible adrenals. My blood type is A Rh-
I'm O negative
Can you post a link to any research you've read please or PM it?
Thanks
I did some reading on links between Rhesus neg and Autoimmune conditions 3 years ago but have lost the links. So I would need to start from scratch to find them again apologies. But as you can see from the poll that was Donne on here 3 years ago there is a high incidence of Rhesus neg blood types with APS.
Primary APS and Rhesus B negative.
Hi, I've just read these posts with interest. I'm O RH negative and have just been diagnosed with Hashimotos disease
I'm B RHD positive. ..
Would love to read more on the subject, where can I find reference on this?
I found this interesting regarding rhesus negative blood types and disease

I am Rh negative with O neg. blood, and I have the autoimmune disease, Graves disease.
Hi everyone,
I am O negative and have RA, FM, OP, OA,
Is your question a sort of a joke or something?
I have never heard of FM, OP, OA. If you have got APS please tell me what it is.
Best wishes from Kerstin in Stockholm
No it isn't a joke, I wish it was.
I have rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis
Sorry about that. Hope I did not offend you in some way. I did not mean to.
There are sometimes people here who does not have an autoimmun illness but write here all the same I can not understand why, as this is a site for Sticky Blood (Hughes Syndrome).
Hope you have a Doctor who is specialized in autoimmun illnesses and the most important thing of all: that he can give you the right treatment.
Best wishes from Kerstin in Stockholm
No, you didn't offend me. I'm a clinician myself and forget not to use abbreviations.
I am O RH Neg and I'm interested in researching blood types in relation to autoimmune disease.
Sadley my latest treatment has failed again. I'm on intense biological infusions and many other drugs.
Have to retire early now as things are progressing too quickly and I'm struggling to continue practicing.
Could be worse I guess?
Hi again,
I am not even medical trained only interested in this blood-disorder as I have it and I am O RH neg also. Yes what I have understood we with APS have O Rh - very often!?
Hope you have got a Specialist for your illnesses who reallly understands autoimmun illnesses as they are "relatives" most of them as you probably know.
Would be interested to hear about your research and several others of our members would be interested also I am sure.
Take good care of yourself!
Kerstin
I am O neg
I am RH negative and also have APS
I am also interested if people who have Rh negative blood are more susceptible to autoimmune diseases, which ones and which types of blood, O negative, A negative, etc, and does it make a difference if you have RH positive blood but carry a recessive gene for RH negative blood. I have O Negative blood and have Wegeners vasculitis.
Hello, the poll that was invited/conducted on the group showed that a large percentage of APS sufferers were indeed RH negative. They were varying blood groups. But many O’s. I’m not sure if the poll results are still accessible tho. I remember back then reading some research about RH factor and auto immune disease being linked. But I wouldn’t be able to find it now. My memory is pretty bad due to illness and meds.
Best wishes Carol x
I am rH neg and O neg and also have APS
Hi, welcome to our forum, you have answered a very old post and many may not be here anymore. I'm going to turn off this post but please feel free to answer current posts or post your own questions.
Again welcome, looking forward to having more discussions with you.
