National Kidney and Transplant Institute It takes the body 24 - 48 hours to replace the plasma portion that is about 80% water and 3 - 5 weeks to replace the red cells. Donors are encouraged to drink plenty of non-alcoholic fluid before and following the donation to assist the replacement process. Also, regular and frequent donors should eat plenty of iron-containing foods (ex. meat).
