Donating blood is one of the easiest ways to help save lives. Every 16 ounces of blood given can be set aside for three lives! All you have to do is make an appointment. In case you are interested to donate blood also you can. Furthermore, some questions raise in our mind who can denote blood? Or who cannot donate blood?
1 Who can donate blood?
A blood donor must be in good general health should be aged 18 years or older but less than 60 years weighing at least 45 Kg has a hemoglobin level of at least 12.5 g/dl not have donated blood in the last three months
2 Who cannot donate blood?
Blood must not be donated on the off chance that an individual is experiencing any of these circumstances:
Cold/ fever in the past 1 week. Under treatment with antibiotics or any other medication Cardiac problems, hypertension, epilepsy, diabetes (on insulin therapy), history of cancer, chronic kidney or liver disease, bleeding tendencies, venereal disease. Major surgery in the last 6 months or minor surgery in the past 3 months Jaundice or hepatitis or positivity for Hepatitis B or C viruses. Tooth extraction less than 3 days back or dental surgery less than a month back. Fainting attacks during the last donation
On therapy with regular blood transfusions Sharing needles to inject drugs/ having a history of drug addiction.
At last, I just wanna say that please donate blood.
