What blood type is "Panda Blood"?
During my physical examination, I learned that I have "panda blood." I've heard this blood type is very rare and would like to know what exactly this blood type refers to.

Panda blood, medically referred to as Rh-negative blood type, is a relatively rare blood type within the general population.
The Rh blood group system is another blood typing system most closely related to human blood transfusions, aside from the common ABO system. It is generally divided into positive and negative types, with Rh-positive blood being more common, and Rh-negative blood being quite rare.
The distribution of Rh-negative blood type is not uniform globally, with significant differences in frequency among different ethnicities and regions. In the Chinese population, the proportion of Rh-negative blood type is low, approximately only 0.3% to 0.5%, thus it is vividly called "Panda blood."
Due to the rarity of this blood type, difficulties may arise in finding compatible blood supplies during emergencies, pregnancy, and other situations. Therefore, it is particularly important for individuals with Rh-negative blood type to know their blood type and take appropriate preventive measures.
Panda blood refers to Rh-negative blood type, which has a low prevalence in the population, thus requiring special attention and management in the medical field.
