no,you would not be able to give blood after having a spleenectomy,besides the surgery you are already compromised without the spleen and don't need to decrease your white cells,used to fight infection even though they they will increase again,don't take the risk.

Answer 2

When donating blood, each individual donation facility has the right to turn down anyone for any health-related reasons. Multiple Sclerosis is not in the blood or the plasma, and is therefore not on prohibited list, but sometimes the medications you are taking to reduce your symptoms are. Plasma donation centers will ask for a thorough medical history and background, including recent prescriptions. If you are taking chemotherapy medication, you will not be able to donate plasma. If you are interested in donating blood or plasma, it is a good idea to call ahead and explain your medical situation. In most cases, you will be allowed to donate, but it is best to make sure ahead of time.
