What happens to donated red blood cells when ABO-incompatible blood is transfused into a recipient?

💡 Explanation

ABO-incompatible blood causes agglutination and hemolysis because pre-existing antibodies in the recipient bind to the foreign antigens on the donor red blood cells, therefore causing the cells to clump and rupture rather than successfully circulate and deliver oxygen.
